They didn’t write about it in the epistles because no one transported bodies in those days great distances because of cost and prohibitions. They did so for ALL of the Apostles bodies, however, to one length or another, soon enough. And they knew why to do it too: 2 Kings 13:21.
Happened a lot in the first millennium, actually. St. Nicholas, for example.
