From what I remember, the small patch of flowers you land on at the start is where Chara is buried, hence the name getting closer to the screen until the game starts. Still, even if Toriel had taken Chara's body to be given a proper burial it raises the question of the bandages; why do they only show up after True Epilogue? Where they always there but the player just didn't notice? Are they meant to symbolise the idea that Frisk and Chara are separate, or something more?

Personally I felt it to be somewhat symbolic of Chara having no grip over Frisk anymore after True Epilogue, unable to ensare Frisk any longer now that Frisk's true personality arises. Which brings another idea; the player themselves control Frisk alone, and Frisk + Chara are only semi-lucid viewers that gain or lose control the more the player goes one way or the other.
