I know this post is years old, but as it's been resurrected and online resources have so improved I thought I'd have a squizz at Melbourne General online.

P.S. Greetings, Douglas.
I don't think the John buried here is linking to the family being sought.
Jamjar - Sadly Melbourne General Cemetery burial records are
not online.
From SMCT website which manages Melbourne Cemetery.
The Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust’s Deceased Search Facility allows you to search the records of Springvale Botanical Cemetery, Bunurong Memorial Park and St Kilda Cemetery. Works are currently underway to grant public access to our records of Brighton General Cemetery, Cheltenham Memorial Park, Cheltenham Pioneer Cemetery, Dandenong Community Cemetery and Melbourne General Cemetery.I have a resource for MI's at MGC and neither John nor Mary
GRIFFITHS' names are on the index.
Abygail - Sorry to read you haven't been well. When you are feeling better perhaps you could contact the Melbourne General Cemetery for further information about burial locations. I posted their email address on the thread earlier. They usually respond within a day or so of your enquiry and sometimes on the same day
.
Perhaps you could ask about his wife's burial location also the death notice and death reg have different ages....may also be transcription errors.
