Although cremation was legal then, it was not the choice of people. Even paupers were buried until about 1925. A great many areas did not have crematoriums until the 1960s. |

My lot lived in Marylebone until 1939/40. Many of them are buried in St Marylebone Cemetery which opened in 1855 (crematorium opened in 1937), but changed its name in the early 1990's, to East Finchley Cemetery. |

Yeah - which makes me think it was in one of the outside cemeteries, that wasn't connected to a church as such, which I think means it didn't make it on any of their records (the whole doesn't make it easier that the person's name I'm looking for was William Henry Taylor and it seems that there was one of these living on every second road in London...) I know when he died just wanted to pay my final respects, if there was any memorial at all |

Have you looked for a burial record on Ancestry's LMA records? |

True - cremation is certainly a possibility. The problem with London is that the majority of graveyards in the centre were full up, so I know people tended to be buried in graveyards on the outskirts, so it may be that he was buried somewhere a fair distance away - just wondered if there was a main one for people dying in this area |
