Try DeceasedOnline.

What sort of date are we talking about?

He died in or around 1979

“In or around” - I’d suggest your first step should be to check FreeBMD to confirm timing and location of death.

I agree with avm228 regarding timing and location, and then, unless you already know where he was living at the time, I would obtain his death certificate to help pinpoint his burial site.

I think that relates to this death

The public tree of "Reuben White" . . . . .

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/164251287/person/172137696360/facts
includes the name of a "living" daughter.

Would she know where her father is buried?

It is quite possible that he was cremated. 

There may be a mention in a newspaper but not many London papers are online but could be available at the British Library in London.  Your profile does not say where in the world you are located so this may be a silly idea.
