Hi Ryan, Have you looked at the entry on Find A Grave? Arbroath Western Cemetery.

It says - Graveside details McDonald, William Simpson buried on 19th May 1982 Recorded at Arbroath Western (Angus) Date of Death 16th May 1982.

Unfortunately there is no photograph of the Grave but you can go on to the site and request one. Although how long you would wait under the present circumstances I cannot guess.

Always worth a try.

Hope this helps,

Dorrie

For a cost, you can purchase a Burial Register Scan and a Map of Grave Location at https://www.deceasedonline.com, both of which seem to be available for the chap in question. You may already have same.
