Burial info Norah Mary Buckell Channon SMITH nee Heaven 1955

I have Norah Mary Buckell Channon SMITH death registered Q1 1955 Southampton and am looking for her burial place please.   (GRO mispelt Buckell as Buckle).

 She was married to Richard Norman Smith, who I've posted a query about on the Bristol/Glos board as I'm pretty sure he died and is buried there (1965).  I have quite a bit about his life already.

As I've put in the other thread on the Kent board, I have found little info about her adult life but have found her marriage and her name on many passenger records as she lived in the Gold Coast (Ghana today).

It's her burial place that interests me.

Have you tried Find a Grave?  There is also the possibility that she was cremated, by 1955 cremation was quite common.

Have you downloaded a copy of the death cert to establish exactly when & where she died?  The Southampton RD covered many areas.

Jebber yes I've tried FindaGrave and Deceased Online but thanks for the ideas.  She could have been cremated of course.

CaroleW no not obtained the death certificate - she's a stray loose end rather than a vital part of family history so this is curiosity really.
