Rainham is a Federation Cemetery, as stated above. Southend & Westcliff Cemetery is UHC (United Hebrew Congregation), and may not have suited. They are different denominations.

Jewish Chronicle, 13 May 1949
WEITZ. – The memorial stone in memory of our beloved wife and mother, Edie Morris Weitz, of 485 Fairfax Drive, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, late of Bigland Street, E.1, will be consecrated at Rainham Cemetery, on Sunday, May 15, 1949, at 2.30 p.m.

Doesn't help much, but gives you an address in Westcliff.

The last sighting, so far, of Samuel, was in 1946.

He was born 1910 so could, in theory, have lived until at least 2010.

A search on freeBMD from 1946 to 1992 (as far as you can go on that website) for a Samuel White, year of birth 1910 gives one interesting result. A death in 1975 of a Samuel Harvey White, date of birth 7th October 191? (last digit helpfully obscured by a blot).

A further search on FindMyPast shows year of birth 1910.

Coincidence?

probate calendar
Samuel Harvey White of 7 Lancing Rd., Orpington died 4th March 1975 Administration London 29th April £2097

so this man did not leave a will but £1.50 to the probate service site at
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

will get you a copy of the grant of administration which, IF he is your man, may lead you further as it will at least tell you who was granted admin of his estate
