If you know the town or village where he died, you could try enquiring at the local crematorium (there will probably only be one serving a big area, which is why I suggest trying there first). If that's a blank, then you could try writing to local vicars (enclose an s.a.e.), spreading out in a wider and wider area from where he died.
If you know he died in one town, but originally came from somewhere many miles away, you could try the same searches there ? Some people go back/are taken back to their roots for their funerals ...

If the death is registered in wirral there might be an orbit for him in the weekly newspaper.Or an article inside the paper,if he died elswhere the same applies.They usually give where the service was and if it was an article it nearly always gives where he was to be buried.

I cant find a burial for him but i suggest you try the crematorium
West Park Lodge, West Park Rd, Blackburn, Lancashire BB2 6DG Tel: 0845 6066612
I have found countless burials for my ancestors in the last week just by ringing the crem - they will tell you there and then if he was buried there.
Do you have his death certificate?
If not you need to get it for the address that he died at...then look that up on streetmap and see which is the nearest church. If he died in a home and that is what is registered on the certificate, then ring the home and they will be able to give you more details.
Once you have his address start looking at the churches in that area - if youve had no luck at the crem. Once you find him, ask for a map and a plot number and then you can go straight to the grave.
He sounds like a Blackburn born n bred lol so i would say you have a good chance with the crem. Start there
