Anyway, here is my sollution:

 The six which are buried are: 2 men, their 2 mothers, and their 2 daughters.

 Each of the two men marry the other man's mother (you can assume these 
women are divorced or widowed). 

 The 2 couples each have a daughter who remains unmarried.  Each woman 
is a grandmother to the other couple's daughter, a mother to their own sons, 
and a wife to their husbands.

 Each man is a husband to their wife, a son to their own mother, a father to 
their own daughter, and a brother to the other couple's daughter (to be exact, 
they would be half-brothers/sisters). 

 Each of the daughters is granddaughter, a daughter, a sister, and a maiden. 

 Because each man married the other's mother, there are no "improper" 
relationships.
