Not even Time Lords can regenerate after being burned to ashes, their body needs to be "mostly intact" in order for regeneration to be possible. Though what if Ozpin can regenerate from an ashen state. Or maybe, what if he doesn't have a physical body, what if he's transcended physical form and become a being of pure consciousness? It's already been suggested that he's transcended humanity, though what it actually entails is still unknown. So he could've phased out of existence in order to make Cinder believe he was dead, and she'd be none the wiser.

And that's the thing, Cinder believes Ozpin is dead, though it might not be entirely true. I think if he was truly dead then Salem would know for sure, her having doubts shows the reports of his death may be greatly exaggerated.
