Burial records

In a very few early burial registers, I have seen a plot # recorded in the margin when a body was buried in the churchyard. However, by the mid-19th cent., municipal cemeteries were being set up, so these burial records are usually held by the local government authority - google burial & place-name for how to contact them.

If you know their last address, or at least a likely area, you could check parish records of nearby churches.
Burial service registers sometimes include actual details of burial. eg. New Cemetery,

An archive for that area might hold cemetery / graveyard burial lists which you could check.

Can anyone please help me. How do I find out which cemetery/graveyard my relatives were interred. Even though I know where their deaths were recorded etc I'm not exactly sure where their funerals took place. Does anyone have any suggestions please? :-S
