where is Chris Morahan buried?

[HughC]

FindaGrave has a memorial to Christopher Thomas Morahan, supposedly buried in Lisburn cemetery. 
I went all round it but there's no stone or urn with the name Morahan.  Lisburn & Castlereagh council has no record of a Morahan being buried there or in the new cemetery.  The FindaGrave memorial was transferred unrequested and unannounced to the present manager who is unable to help.

A newspaper announcement shortly after his death on 7 April 2017 may perhaps say where the funeral was to take place.  Can anyone help?

Have you contacted his son Andrew?  There is no grave photo so I wonder if he was cremated and his ashes buried at the cemetary

Thank you for your very swift reply, Carole.
I did try asking his daughter Hattie, but she doesn't reply to eMails.

He died in Guildford.  He was born in London, as was his father.  I know of no family connection with Northern Ireland, so Lisburn seems an unlikely place to deposit the ashes -- and if so, then why in a cemetery with no labelled urn and without telling the council?  It would seem more logical to scatter the ashes at some favourite beauty spot.

Following up your suggestion, Carole, I contacted Andy Morahan via LinkedIn.
He replied that it's none of my business, so he evidently doesn't care that there's a (presumably) inaccurate memorial at FindaGrave.

I still think a newspaper announcement could resolve it,
but I don't have access to old newspapers.

Didn't realise he died in England.  I agree with you - something not quite right given the response from his son

Google throws up a lot of obituary's from the stage & screen world etc so I wonder whether the family would have bothered with a personal one. 

Although he died 7.4.2017 - probate wasn't granted until a year later 4.5.2018.  Depending on your curiosity - you could download a copy of his will for £1.50

What is your interest in finding where he is buried?

The gentleman was a very well known TV and film director.
I can find a large number of obituaries but the newspaper archives don’t seem to go up to 2017 in order to be able to find any announcement that might give a burial place.

His grandfather Michael Joseph Morahan was b Carrick on Shannon - Roscommon
