Trying to find Hugh Boyd b 1877 d 1961

Trying to find resting place of my great grandfather b July 21 1877 in Old Monkland and died May 30 1961 at Coatbridge. Parents- Hugh Boyd b1851 and Margaret Ormiston b 1854.

I have the death certificate but have had no luck finding out if he was buried or cremated as his estranged wife and children were living in Australia when he died. I am visiting Scotland in July and would love to have some closure on this as I have spent the past 9 years trying to find this information.
