I have both wills and there is nothing to indicate places of burial.
Just happened to find the one for Sarah.at St Nicholas where a few of the family married.
Not sure what the attachment on Barton upon Irwell means - is that an alternative suggestion? That being a Manchester location?
There are literally hundreds of that name in that area. of Lancashire & Cheshire.

Coroners compiled claims for expenses incurred whilst conducting inquests and these were presented at Quarter Sessions for payment. They include the names of those for whom an inquest was held but rarely any other details about the circumstances. Unfortunately, no inquest files survive for these and the best source of supplementary information is local newspapers which are typically held by the local library service.

Presume you have read both wills and there is nothing in either of them about where they wished to be buried.
Presume you don't know where Dorothy died - it might well have decided where she was buried?
Have you actually seen the Parish register entry for Sarah or just a transcript - could it be that Dorothy was not transcribed or there are missing entries due to damage, illegible etc.
If buried elsewhere, perhaps the OPR has not survived?
Burials are the least well transcribed and available records. It seems Baptisms and marriages are of far more interest.
Initial thought is that Dorothy died not too long before Sarah and that they were both involved in each others wills and probate ended up being sorted out when the last of the 2 died?
There are many previous threads about this family - the one below lists more

..
I have obtained a copy Will dated 1791, the probate granted 14/10/1805 at Liverpool.
I cannot find a burial place .
Dorothy Massey spinster. Born Rostherne 1741 who went to Liverpool with her two sisters -they were, Martha , Dolly & Sarah - .Martha the eldest married there in 1762
The spinsters both left a will. Probate dated 14 October 1805 for both.
Sarah is buried at St Nicholas. 29 May 1805
Their father Jeffrey was a farmer at Rostherne who died in 1759, So I am guessing the three sisters left the farm to join aunts and uncles in Liverpool at this time.
can anyone suggest a burial between 1791 when Dorothy wrote the will, and 1805 when probate was passed at Liverpool.
thank you.
