I don't believe burial plots in churchyards were ever purchased, I had a conversation recently with an incumbent who said they were not purchased, there are no deeds to these graves

The simplest answer to that is look at the burial plot book, it will show the owners of the grave.
Sometimes the register will.
See-

I don't have time to mess around with the image tonight to size it properly but if you scroll down the left hand side of the page you will see a number of graves marked as bought graves.
Cheers
