As you have her full date of death and the cemetary it may be worth contacting the records office for further details

When we contacted Uplands, the staff were very helpful and even directed us to the plot as there was no headstone.
I expect matters will be quite different at the moment but I would hope they will tell you plot number etc.

Thanks folks. Sadly there is no telephone response at this time from the Records Office for this cemetery. Who knows how long this will be for !

So I shall keep waiting on here in the hope someone may pop up with some info or......

We went to the office at the new part of the Cemetery across the road, maybe there is another phone number there?
 I know at Birmingham Cemeteries where there are funerals taking place, the general public aren't usually allowed until staff have gone so perhaps that's why.
I believe there are burial records at Smethwick Archive for Uplands but their opening times are short even without Covid restrictions. Sorry I haven't got phone numbers.

Maybe the offices are closed and people are working from home. Do you have an email address you could try?
