If you explain what you are looking for they should be able to give you the grave reference.  There may be a charge for this.

Your fathers death was registered in November 1993 which may help when you contact Leeds Council

Do you know for certain he was buried rather than cremated?

Pre-1987 records for Harehills Cemetery have been transcribed by Yorkshire Indexers. They say that "Records after this date are computerised and held at Leeds City Council Offices, Lawnswood together with the original registers, grave books and grave plans."

That gives some hope that even if Kevlip doesn't have complete information, they might be able to find the right entry in the database.

That's good news.  Should make it easier to find the info
