Nelson A. Rockefeller, the four-term New York governor who sought the presidency three times and was appointed vice president by Gerald R. Ford in the rocky days after Watergate. Two years after leaving office, he died in New York City of a massive heart attack. He's the only vice president to be cremated.

Wrong. The remains of Henry Agard Wallace (October 7, 1888 – November 18, 1965), thirty-third Vice President of the United States, were cremated at Grace Cemetery in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the ashes interred in Glendale Cemetery, Des Moines, Iowa.

DG?
Mozart said he(Rockefeller) was not interred in a Cemetary
and his Wiki link validates it
quote:
Nelson Rockefeller was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. His ashes were scattered at the Rockefeller Estate in nearby Tarrytown. He does not have a final resting place in a cemetery, the first Vice President not to have one.
