Sorry, I can't find him, but I can tell you the places he isn't listed in: Brisbane City Council burial register Dern Queensland Index Our headstone collection If they were living in Brisbane at the time of his death and he's not buried in a Brisbane City Council cemetery, then he was almost certainly cremated as pretty much any other cemetery in Brisbane is Catholic or C of E (there aren't a lot of Methodist/Uniting cemeteries). Given the likely timeframe for his death, I would say he was most likely cremated in Mt Thompson Crematorium with Albany Creek Crematorium as second choice. Pretty much the only way to check this is to phone/write to them. The other possibility is that given his street address, he was almost certainly associated with the current Indooroopilly Uniting Church (which I think was formerly a Methodist church, as I think the Indooroopilly Presbyterian Church was on the site of the present Indooroopilly Shopping Centre), so they may know what became of him.

I am trying to find out the death date and grave site of William Thomas Phillips who was born on the 30th March 1892 in the Warwick area of Queensland His parents were Thomas Phillips and Celia Gomm of Freestone QLD. After WW1 where he served in the 5th Australian Light Horse in Egypt he continued in life as a Methodist Minister. Last I could trace of him was in 1954 wher he was Superintendent of the Methodist Church of Australasia, Queensland Conference located in Grosvenor Street, Indooroopilly. His wife was Amy Mildred. Any help would be appreciated, he was my mothers second generation cousin.
