I'd check with the local jurisdiction - city, county, etc - to see where he's buried, that information should be on file. Once you have that information, if you call the cemetery office or church they should be able to tell you exactly where a person is buried.
I had a great uncle one time who died in an auto accident back in the 1940s. I knew the cemetery he was buried in, so I went to the cemetery office one morning, and they were not only able to tell me where he was buried, but even provided me with a map of the cemetery with the approximate location of the grave marked.
You might also want to consider going to a site like findagrave.com to see if your uncle has been listed in the database.

Hi Leanne are you in the UK. If you are then you will have to phone around all the cemeteries, in the place he died and ask if he is buried there., but you have to have an idea as to the date he died. If you want to email me with his name and place he died I can find out when he died exactly, I have access to lots of genealogy sites, I will email you straight back with my findings. If you don't have a date of death or an approximate date then there will most probably be a charge of £25, that's the price I was quoted. I would love to help, if I can. Diane

Do a web search to find the names of the cemetary(ies) in that town. Call and tell the caretaker that you are looking for a relative. They can look in their records to see if your uncle is buried there and if he is, what section and plot he is in. Good Luck!

the births, death and marriages registration place in your country will have pertinent information for you. His death certificate may be able to be released to you (for a fee, in some countries) providing you can show that you're a relative. It should have his death date and place. By knowing the place, you could then call the newspapers in that area to see if any of them issued a death notice. The notice will have even more info for you such as where and when his funeral/memorial service was held. If there was no such notice, you still have a place of death from the certificate and may be able to contact hospitals to see which funeral director, if any, his remains where released too.
