A friend of mine who's partner has passed away is trying to locate where his late partner's parents were buried, he knows these details:

Esme Burley, died June 1987 aged 65,  and her husband

Randolph Archibald Burley, died 26 Jan 1991, aged 71/72

He thinks they lived in the Hillsborough area, but isnt 100%, can anyone offer any information on how i can track down where they are buried please?  thanks!

Hi,

Being fairly resent years of their deaths 1987 & 1991, is it likely they were both cremated as cremation by these years above was the most common type/form of funeral as it is now.  ??? I would check out the cremation possibility first with Sheffield council to eliminate the likelihood ? before pursuing the many burial places in Sheffield being churchyards, nonconformist burial grounds to city council cemeteries.

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
