He could have simply told his family and loved ones that the artifact was a gift from a friend that he wished to be buried with it. He could have also left additional instructions that, in the event that his remains need to be moved, the artifact is moved with him.

Ah, did the movie say this or was it the novel? Either way, I guess that explains it. :)

It's in the movie, I haven't read the novelization.
