Burial information

[Rosiejoe]

Good evening, this is my first post so I apologise in advance if its in the wrong area. Does anyone know how I find out who buried my grt grt grt Grandmother? She was buried at All Saints in West Bromwich in 1903 having died in the workhouse. Would this have been a paupers grave or would someone have paid to lay her to rest? Any information as to where to search now would be most grateful.
