Oletta,
The death of George will have been registered at the Register Office within the Registration District, in which he died.
Patricia has earlier provided options of such death registrations from the FreeBMD web site. As you probably know the BMD indexes give only basic info ie name of person, age on death, quarter and year when death was registered, and within which Registration District. To get additional details, ie, address of death, cause of death, name, status and address of person informing the Registrar of the death, one would have to buy a certified copy of the original registration.
It is also likely that George's death was recorded in a church death register. Such a church record would recorded some basic info, but perhaps also place of burial,
Newspapers of the area might also hold a "death notice" showing detals of death, family connections and time and place of burial/cremation.

If you went to the Northumberland Record Office ( in Woodhorn, near Ashington, )you would be able to search for record of his death. Whether you find it is another matter.
George could have been buried in a "churchyard" or more likely in a "civil" cemetery.
Woodhorn has records of probably all church records of death/burial and all civil cemeteries in Northumberland.
But where would you start the search ?. In Cramlington or in 40 miles-away Harbottle ?
Northumberland County Council today administers the county's civil cemeteries and some church graveyards. See link below..
http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=3375Note that there is at Cramlington the church (St Nicholas's) graveyard and a civil cemetery at nearby Mayfield.
The nearest civil cemetery to Harbottle is probably at Chevington, near Broomhill, or the one at Morpeth.
The crematorium at Cowpen, Blyth, is the only one in present-day Northumberland (about 5 miles from Cramlington). Another crematorium is in the west of Newcastle.
