Do you have a copy of his death certificate? That should give you a more precise address than "Brent".
-
Brent Council's website says their burial records are included on the Deceased Online website
https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch
but I can't see a burial/cremation in Brent. How sure are you about dates? There is a burial for a Charles James Stanley 18th July 1969 in Surrey. You need to pay to see full details.

So, we're definitely looking for 1967 in Brent, although I suppose even if he died in Brent he could have been buried elsewhere.
Here's Brent's website:

Here's his birth reg to clarify name
STANLEY, CHARLES JOSEPH mmn HOLDEN
GRO Reference: 1890 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 556
-
Did he have a criminal record? I'm finding a number of such entries in London that fit his name & birthyear?
-
There's a previous thread about him

As you now have his exact death date you could contact Brent records office to check for burial or cremation details

Based on the info in the other thread, I can see a likely death registration for his second wife Alice Evelyn Stanley in Brent Q2 1980 (vol 11, page 828). A burial and/or will might provide clues, but I haven't been able to locate either.
Ancestry is showing a Charles J Stanley on the electoral roll in Willesden East in 1950, 1954 and 1962, but I don't currently have a subscription to see the details. If he married in Willesden in 1935 and then died there in 1967, it would be odd for him to be buried elsewhere.
Who was the informant on the death certificate?

This definitely looks like the way forward. I tried to find his mother's details, as her death was also registered in Willesden in 1951. No luck. I came to the conclusion that there must be a problem with the records. And on investigation, even though the LB Brent website directs you to Deceased Online, it looks like DO does not hold the records for Willesden New Cemetery - the most likely location.
The only Brent cemeteries named in DO's page for the borough are: Alperton Cemetery, Carpenders Park Cemetery, Willesden Old Burial Ground (St Mary's), and Wembley Old Burial Ground (St John's).
This page gives details of Brent's charges for family history searches, but it doesn't explain how to book one of their six-hour slots:
