You could try deceased online site

Or you need the death cert and then contact the parks and cemeteries dept of the local council for burial details giving the info from the cert

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

How sad -
seven of Alice & Henry's eight children all died in infancy.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

No records for her on deceased online - not all cemeteries are covered. And if she was buried in a churchyard then they aren't covered.

Her surviving child's cremation is on deceasedonline, but that's probably no help (re possible family grave). He was cremated in Islington in 1984.

Thank you for all your help, yes the surviving child was my Grandad, who never spoke about his parents, or that all other siblings died in infancy, ,
Thank you again

At about that time the overspill for burials of Fulham cemetry were being taken to Mortlake and North Sheen.

Have you tried Fulham Archives to see if they hold a record?

Hi, I have recently asked for help in finding the final resting place of my great grandmother Alice Maud Mary Keepen.
People were very generous with their time and help , well I finally found her at Fulham Palace Road cemetery although there is nothing to mark the grave, I have the plot number and row and will return when there will be someone to show me the exact location,
A massive "Thank You" to you all, this has meant the world to me
