Hello and welcome to the site.
At that sort of time it is likely that he was buried in the local church yard, although he may have been buried in a cemetery as they were being introduced at about this time.
To see if he was buried in the cemetery, you would need to search the burial registers at the county records office. It shouldn't be difficult as you have a date of death; generally, people were buried within the week.
You could also see if anybody could look it up for you on the NBI (National Burial Index) I don't have it on this computer I'm afraid.
If you cannot get to Herts Records Office you could try ringing them and asking if they could look, or maybe try the library as they are sometimes more helpful when it is just one thing you would like checking.
Have a look in the wiki to see if anyone is offering look ups at Herts RO.
Hope this helps,
Tom
