Hi

It might be worth contacting the crematorium who will probably hold records.

Hi Treebuster
Do you know in what kind of hospital the lady was a patient?  Even in 1960 long-term patients of some mental hospitals were buried on site-if they had lost touch with their families, perhaps-
Just a thought
