I've never thought about it, and I presume Tolkien didn't either. The point really is her passing and legacy and those are masterfully communicated to the reader through Tolkien's superb language. The very wording is just a delight to read. Beautiful. The logistics, however, are probably something like this. She laid down on the hill and died. Someone found her and decided to bury her there. Then word probably spread that the Elven Queen of Gondor was buried at Cerin Amroth, and by the time the Appendices were written, the author was aware of her death and the location of her grave. Just my two cents.
"...and his first memory of Middle-earth was the green stone above her breast as she sang above his cradle while Gondolin was still in flower." -Unfinished Tales

Perhaps Radagast turned up on his Bunny sled?

Arwen would've been Celeborn's grand-daughter.

Arwen's death has always striked me as surpassingly sad
