Summary
If it is confirmed that the non-Muslim pronounced the two testimonies of faith, he is outwardly considered to have died as a Muslim. His body must be treated as a Muslim's, meaning it is washed, shrouded, prayed over and buried in a Muslim cemetery. If this is not done, all Muslims in the vicinity are sinful.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika telah sahih orang kafir itu mengucap dua kalimah Syahadah maka pada zahirnya ia mati sebagai seorang Muslim maka wajiblah diperlakukan sebagai mayat seorang Muslim
