As I said on the other list, there's a difference between handling corpses and having the dead reside in your own portion of the otherworld. Heortlings that do go to her silent cavern get a get-out-of-the-silent-caverns-free card on return day (also Storm Tribe p198 IIRC).

Greg has said (and recently reconfirmed) that it is not directly accesible from the Storm Realm. Doktados is also present in the Hero Planes and the mortal world. Hence to get to the Cave of the Winds from Doktados in the Storm Realm would require a trip through the Hero Planes.
