Does anyone know where Sergeant Gregg is buried?

I have read that he was buried with full military honours at the "local cemetery." He died at Heanor Memorial Hospital, so you would think that he was buried at the main Marlpool Cemetery, but I can find no record there of him.

It would be good to be able to locate the final resting place of this local hero.
