Chemist Apprentice - 1911.

It says "Church Name" but isn't this the Henley Road Cemetery (municipal)?

That's how I understood it when asking about cremation. These burial details appear to have come from some kind of database (I don't know which one), so I was assuming it was using "Church Name" as a generic descriptor which in practice included municipal cemeteries and crematoria as well.

Might he have had a strong desire to be cremated rather than buried? From living in the area between Reading and Basingstoke around 1990, I remember that the nearest crematoria then were in Aldershot and Caversham (Reading), the latter being part of the original Caversham Cemetery. I'm not sure if the record already quoted would cast any light on that: does it specifically refer anywhere to burial or cremation?

Hi Arthur
Megan [in post #2] quoted from the transcription of the record from FMP. There is nor reference to a burial, but the idea of cremation certainly is feasible and as Peter quoted in post #10, it may have been the crematorium associated with the municipal cemetery
