Can anyone tell me whereabouts in Bucks there were lunatic asylums in 1908?

Thank you. Were there burials at St John's or would it have been more usual for the family to have a dead inmate buried in their home parish?

In my experience dead inmates were normally buried in their home parish, but if you look on the website there is some information about it, including details of a book about it.
