 Tulsi and Shankhachud got married at the behest of Brahma. In the blessings of Brahma and Vishnu, Chur Daityaraj Shankhachud established ownership over the three worlds. The gods were distressed and asked Vishnu for help, but they themselves had blessed Dambha with such a son, so they prayed to Shiva. Then Shiva decided to remove the sufferings of the gods and they left. 

But because of the pativrat religion of Sri Krishna Kavach and Tulsi, Shivaji too could not kill him. Then Shiva consumed the conch shell with his trishulu and the conch shell was born from his bones.

But since Shiva killed him, the water of the conch shell is said to be prohibited to Shiva. That is why Shivaji should not be burnt with conch shells.
