Is it known what happened with the bodies of Erwin and others killed in the suicide charge (except for Erwin and the one was killed by Reiner with a sword thrust, those who died inside Shinganshina were blasted by Berthold) after the refugees repopulated the Maria Wall and Shinganshina?

I ask this because I think it would have been nice if, for example, a kind of great sanctuary had been built in the field where they died (or on the outskirts of Trost, where they started the operation to retake the Maria Wall), in honor of the fallen heroes who retaked the Maria Wall, probably with a giant equestrian statue of Erwin, on its basis of which his inspiring speech could have been engraved (Floch and Levi were the only survivors that had heard his great speech and his last words, because Floch heard the legendary "MY SOLDIERS, RAGE!!! MY SOLDIERS, SCREAM!!! MY SOLDIERS, FIGHT!!!!!" and Levi heard his delusional last words, and it would not be surprising if the speech and last words had been etched in their minds). And all this, without removing the great possibility that in every town and city within the walls there is an equestrian statue of Erwin, either normal-size or slightly larger (depending on the town or city), plus another of some fallen specifically, in case that town or city is his/her birthplace.

After all, the 9 survivors of the Survey Corps could not bring themselves the hundred bodies of their fallen comrades in the suicide charge, with the danger of being in a territory full of pure titans, and Levi left Erwin in the bed of an abandoned house.

Furthermore, these monuments could enhance the new Eldian nationalism, something necessary and promoted by the Zackly government since the discovery of the truth about the outside world. However, these monuments would also be meeting places for the Yeagerists, because they could see the late Erwin and these fallen as their predecessors, although nobody can really know what their position would have been regarding the Rumbling, whatever Hange and Floch say.
