There's also a report of Ann Prout's funeral in the 15 March 1906 edition.

These newspaper announcements are viewable in FindmyPast and the BritishNewspaperArchive.

Some Methodist chapels had their own burial grounds but if a chapel did not own a burial ground the deceased could be buried in the parish C of E churchyard. [they had an obligation to offer a burial to residents within the parish].

In 1853 [London] and 1854 [provinces] an Act was passed closing many churchyards that were overfilled and cemeteries [some privately owned but often municipal cemeteries] came into use. Those cemeteries would have a non conformist section.
