The Lurgan Ancestry website has a few headstone photos and inscriptions for Kilwarlin Cemetery:

This inscription is included:
Erected in loving memory of Arthur and Margaret Smyth of North Street, Lurgan. And their daughter Margaret who died 10th February 1960.

Thank you very much Sinann.  I am delighted to get that information.  I agree that they must both be buried in the adjoining cemetery.  It is the most obvious explanation.  I appreciate your help and pass on the thanks of my friend who was the originator of the query.

I'm delighted that you found Felix.  He is the acknowledged expert on that part of East Antrim.  Good luck with your onward research.

Felix McKillop's book "Townlands, People and Traditions" is a treasure trove of information about the history of this part of the East Antrim area.  There are references to the surnames you mention.  Mullaghsandal has its own section (about 30 pages) including details of the three clachans in the townland named Cruck, Ligg and Cullyvully.

I have now discovered that that the RCB Library for COI based in Dublin also has the Bective records and will do a search for a fee.  This seems the easiest way to proceed though it would still be interesting to see newspaper death notices.

This has been an interesting learning exercise for me.  Thanks to Rootschat and its contributors.

Thank you to both Jebber and CaroleW for your replies. Both are interesting and valid points which had not occurred to me.  Cremations were rare in 1950s Ireland and I would be fairly confident to rule out that possibility.  The grave is a double with four names on the headstone so space should not be an issue. 
I have continued with my search.  Bective is a COI cemetery and I have now found a list of COI Parish Registers which indicates that NAI hold records on microfilm for Bective including burials from 1857-2001. So it looks like a personal visit is necessary to access those. Not easy from County Antrim.
In the meantime,I will pursue the newspaper angle in the hope that I can find answers online that way.

Many thanks to you both.

Meath / Missing Names in Bective Churchyard Cemetery
« on: Wednesday 30 August 23 16:43 BST (UK)  »
"A contact of mine from England recently visited the old St Mary's Cemetery at Bective Churchyard where some of her ancestors are buried.  She found the family grave but was surprised that two names did not appear on the headstone.  The missing names are Margaret Jane Crossen who died on 11 May 1954 and George Forbes who died on 5 February 1955.  I have confirmed these dates on irishgenealogy.ie.  It is of course possible that both are buried there without the names being added to the headstone.

I should be grateful for advice on where I might find either the burial records or, alternatively, newspaper death notices to confirm where they are buried.  I am in County Antrim.  Many thanks."

Dundalk is in County Louth so you might consider asking for this post to be moved. 

It would also help your chances of a reply if you supply some dates.
