Unfortunately Mandy, the only way you can find out where someone is buried is by trawling the burial records in your local archives. If you get the death certificate and find out where they were living, you may be able to pinpoint the nearest church. You could contact Sandwell Bereavement Services, here :

They may not do a search for you, but you can go and look through their burial and cremation records at Newton Road, West Bromwich.

Good Luck - Maggie :-)
