Again, rdenig is right. Mozart was buried in a communal grave in Vienna, which was usual for the time, although the precise whereabouts of this grave is unknown. It's probably under a car park somewhere.

It is a myth that he was 'unceremoniously dumped' in a common grave. The usual practise in the Vienna of his day was for most middle class people to be buried in communal graves without a marker, and having little status in a society which measured you by birth and wealth, that is what happened to him.
