hello Syd,
Laura is buried in Walkley Cemetery, Sheffield.
This is the information from the burial register:
Grave G307
COOPER Laura
date of burial: 2 Mar 1909
address: 14 Sandygate Rd.
age: 25
minister: Rev. Holyoake/STGS
Register reference: vol 6 page 94
I don't know who the Rev Holyoake was, but the fact that the Vicar, Sydney TG Smith, has initialled the entry suggests that Holyoake was not an Anglican.
There are no other burials listed for this grave. There is a grave book which lists Mr JJH Cooper as the grave owner.
Part of the memorial appears to be missing, including any inscription. It was probably a cross.
Do you know Martin Cooper? I found this grave for him a few years ago, and I know that he has the receipt for the burial fees.
