In the meantimes there is nothing on deceased online.

Which relatives have you tracked down, to give us some idea of family size?

Enfield Crematorium - looks to be mainly a Crematorium with a few burial plots. Maybe Frank was cremated in which case there won't be a resting place as such.

Enfield Crematorium opened in 1938 and is one of London’s largest. The crematorium has two chapels (north and south) which can both hold approximately 150 people. There is approximately 50 acres of space, most of which is dedicated to the Gardens of Remembrance. There is a small lawn cemetery where burials can take place. Headstones are permissible but curbstones (edging) are not. Grave plots can be purchased for a maximum of three people.

He died April/May/June 1971 - can you phone the Crematorium and ask them to check their records for that period?
