May be worth looking back in the Forest Area you often see deceased people going home for their funeral, local papers are Gloucester Citizen or the Forester) I am originally from Gloucester and knew a Saunders family from the Forest. Forest of Dean District Council used to be in Cinderford or Coleford, may be give them a try.

Good luck

Try the Local Town Hall they keep all Burials, Graves & Purchased Graves. Ask for the clerk who deals with the burial registers & when you get a grave number ask who else is buried there. I have been transcribing burials in Selby North Yorkshire & know how the system works. Good luck Ron.
