I gather that Brisbane City Council either couldn't tell you who arranged Noreen's burial, or that it was someone other than Keith MARTIN. I would therefore suggest that you try: 1. Headstone transcriptions for Hemmant Cemetery. Advice re Qld cemetery records is on <www.judywebster.gil.com.au/beginner.html>. I think you will find that the Hemmant records (possibly different versions) are held by the Qld Family History Society (QFHS) and also by the Genealogical Society of Qld (GSQ). 2. 'Courier Mail' funeral or death notices for Noreen and Keith. 3. Probate files (which, if they exist, should contain death certificates). There is an article about probate files on <www.judywebster.gil.com.au/tips-qld.html>.
