The Commission itself did not "bury" the actual brain. On April 26, 1965, well after the release of the WC report (9/24/64), JFK's brain along with other autopsy material, such as tissue slides, was inventoried, then removed from the White House by Dr. Burkley under order of RFK (then still Attorney General) and sent to Evelyn Lincoln, who was then working in the National Archives. At some point subsequent to that, Robert made an appointment to see Evelyn Lincoln, came to the Archives, and went into the secure room containing the metal jar holding JFK's brain. It is unknown what happened to the brain after that, but it is my suspicion that RFK interred the brain with the other remains in a private ceremony (attended only by RFK, Ted, and Cardinal Cushing) on March 14, 1967, at the brand new Kennedy Memorial, which was publicly dedicated the following day, March 15, 1967. (The permanent Eternal Flame memorial had been under construction, and it had been known that the grave site would have to be moved, since mid- 1965) Presumably it is still there.
On October 31, 1966, the Kennedy family donated everything on Burkley's inventory list to the US Government, with the exception of the brain and other tissue slides.
Perhaps you meant "bury" in more of a figurative sense.
