We are trying to locate the burial place of a famous Russian ballet dancer Tamara Platonovna Karsavina(March 10, 1885 – May 26, 1978)
according to some sources, she died in Beaconsfield. The Death Registrar in Beaconsfield Town Councul have no records of her.

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately that info is incorrect. it gives Beckenham cemetery but beaconsfield chuch as a plot?). There are no burials in Beaconsfield churchyard for the last 100 years.

And the monument on findaAGrave website is not of her,  but of heine. It is believed her likeness was used for the monument though

Karsavina is a stage name, she married Henry James Bruce in 1915 and became Bruce herself

Karsavina is buried in Hampstead with her husband. I went to the grave a week ago. She, herself, is not identified on the headstone and the grave in unkempt.
