Llangyfelach is today a suburb of the city of Swansea and is within the Registration District of Swansea whose contact details can be found at:
https://www.swansea.gov.uk/contactregistrars

It might be helpful to have details of both deaths available if/ when you contact them.  www.freeBMD.org.uk might help with this.

There are seven Municipal Burial Grounds here in Swansea and details of their Locations & Layouts can be found at:
https://www.swansea.gov.uk/burialsandcremations

Details of requesting searches of municipal burial & cremation records can be found at: https://www.swansea.gov.uk/municipalcemeterycrematoriumsearch

If you have row & plot number details of burials in the Morriston Cemetery I can provide photo's of the plot(s) relatively speedily, however, photographic visits to other Municipal Burial Grounds in the North and East of the county may not be so speedy.

In so far as Church & Chapel burial grounds are concerned, West Glamorgan County Archive Service have been gifted the records of SOME of the closed churches & chapels.  For other church & chapel burials you will need to make direct contact with the church or chapel concerned.

I trust the above information will assist you.

Thanks John
                   This is a tricky one all I know that my 2nd great grandparents were in  Llangafelach 1911 after that not sure where they went, giving their ages you would think they would settle down
