Hi Biz:

You might like to check the Glasgow papers of the time for the obituaries, either through your public library, online, or in the Scotsman.

Not very specific, but I've not done any burial searches. Is there anything published by the Glasgow Western Scotland Family History Society, which is linked through the Societies tab at the top of the page?

Hi Biz
Another option is to contact the Cemteries & Crematoria Registrar office in the following link (scroll to bottom of page) who may be able to help, but they will probably require a precise date of death (day, month, year) before starting a search and as far as I remember from other posts on TS, I think this office make a charge to search. You'll need to contact them to find out.
