Handsworth Cemetery

My Great Grandfather Frederick George Babbage died in 1918 in Farnham Road, Handsworth.
Does anyone on the forum have any idea how I can find out where his grave is?
Regards

I am sure if you contact them with as much info as you can, they will tell you if he is actually buries there.

Alternatively, it could be Witton Cemetry.

By 1918 most church graveyards near and in the city were closed due to overcrowding. I would think he is more likely to be in Handsworth Cemetery.
