Kal Someone else has already suggested, have you spoken to the Bereavement Department at the local council - I was trying to trace the grave for my grandfather who died in 1925. They were able to tell me which crematoria and burial grounds were operating at the time, which ones would have been used by which churches etc and were very helpful I really would give them a ring, especially if you have the full name and the date of death. Regards Looby

Did his family ie sisters, brothers, parents live in Birmingham if not did they take him to where they lived? Do you know if there was a will, does this have any addresses on, did a solicitor deal with this, they may have paid the bill. See if you can find any funeral directors who were in business when he died and are still trading they may have some old records. I hope you find him.
