I agree - if she wanted to be buried with him she should have opted to bury him in a place that she could also be buried.
Although, technically the spouses and children of deceased military members didn't 'earn' the right to be there either besides just being married or children of them. I think if there are exceptions for married people, or people with children, there should be some kind of exception for people who didn't marry or have kids. That's not for me to decide, but it just kind of seems wrong that there are exceptions for some people and not everyone.
Just my take on it though.
