Give them a prod. Most councils have a section that will chase up where there has been a lack of service:

Are you sure that he's actually buried there? Is it a family stone, or just for him? People frequently listed family members in a memorial inscription, even though they died in other places. For example, one stone in my Whitsome OPS lists people who died at sea off Denmark, New Jersey, Ayton, Edinburgh and (of course) Whitsome.

Hi LezleyR,  I am not sure if this chap is the correct one that is named on the stone, it is one person on the stone only...I was told he was buried here, and it is the only stone i see with that name and date, just no idea, it is really bugging me...Thank you..
