Note
A spelling rule does the work here: bury ends in a consonant plus y, so the y becomes i before -es, and burys is never correct. The form carries every meaning of the verb, and every one needs an object. Someone buries a body, a secret, a melody under noise, or, in humorous use, the relatives they outlive. In slang it can even mean kills.
