Charles died 14/3/1960 aged 57, Barbara died 12/10/1965 aged 58.
For copyright reasons cannot send photo of stone but looks like it is the newer part of what is a large cemetery,
There is a regular contributor to this forum who may be able to provide the photo

That's brilliant. Thank you for your help. Can you tell me if there is anything nearby that would help me pinpoint the location of the grave? My next step would be trying the Council records if I can't pinpoint it here.

Thanks again

Sorry I can't be more specific. You have walked round the place yourself so you know what an area it covers,
If you want to visit the grave your best bet is to ask for the location at the record office at Kirkcaldy Crematorium. Just give them as much information regarding dates etc. as you have. They have helped me in the past.
If you just want a photo there are a couple of websites who can provide this at very reasonable cost.

Outstanding work.
That's roughly where we were so time to go back for a closer inspection.
Thank you so much for your help.
