Is this the daughter? Maybe worth contacting the funeral directors as often same funerals directors are used.

You might expect them to be findable on the Brisbane City Council grave search site, But unless I am doing something wrong, I couldn’t find burials for any of those named on CoL’s link.

I am aware that cremations can be missing from the database if the ashes were not interred at a BCC cemetery.

I can’t see mention of Albert on Trove either, unless he was the 1931 Mt Isa bankrupt shopkeeper.

If cremated at Mt Thompson, there is no plaques for them.

However, the staff there are very helpful and will do a search for them.
