I've been looking at these .The database was recently updated on 15/04/2020.
Perhaps they did upload all the images  - but maybe they are /were still in the process of transcribing them for the database?

Your example of William H G Young, died 1985, Though in the results list the date of birth and date of burial fields are blank, if you hover over the View Record link, you get a pop up with the details
Name William H G Young
age 70
Record Type Cremation
Cremation date 29/03/1985
Burial place Liverpool Merseyside

I'd guess they still need to fine tune it (which I suspect is true for a lot of things on the site), but hovering over the link will give the info that's missing in the results list and if you have lots of possibles in the results 'hovering' line by line is quicker than opening each link in turn to find the most likely one.
For the convenience of being able to access these online, I'll put up with slight oddities. Even when the archives are open, its a 450 mile round trip for me to visit.
