Sorry if this sounds personal but as they are recent deaths were you not with the family, adopted or fostered?
if you have a look and find where they died, ancestry have death records 1916-2005 or may be a local office?
Some areas now have books on rememberance on line, if you try searching for them.
May be looking in local newspapeers to see if it was in there?

May be someone else can help more?

Hi Claire-Louise,

Sounds to me like you know the location, cemetery or churchyard but are just looking for the plots. Have you got any information/old letters from stone masons or funeral directors?
If not the local authority should be able to help with cemeteries or the local vicar/church warden with church yards .
