Aubrey Davies died 8th June 1934 in Purley, Surrey.
His Death Cert states Mid Eastern Surrey as the Registration District and the Sub District as Beddington/Coulsdon.
How do I find out where he is buried?
Is there an email address or phone number that I could contact?
I am hoping to get the information before we leave Australia to visit England.
Thanking you.

Look at his home address on the death certificate then look online for the Council Office which serves that area.
Maybe they can help.

Purley is in the London Borough of Croydon, so you could try this:

Croydon Cemetery & Crematoriam (from 1897)
Mitcham Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR9
Records are kept onsite and will be looked up by staff.
Phone:- 020.8684.3877

i used to live in Purley. The yell.com web site that Robert Put up is good, but it is missing at least one and that is st. James Church. it's on St.James Road just off of the Godstone Road.

this website gives contact details and a picture. it does have a few burials and the rev there is very helpful:
