There is an image of the burial entry at the parish church in Falmouth for George in 1898, on Family Search.  Buried 28 April 1898, aged 80 years.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Thanks.  That's him.  I have that information, but I was trying to find if there was an actual headstone for him, and who he was buried with, if at all possible.  But thank you for that - I hadn't actually noticed the image before, but I had the date :)
