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>.
