    Does this look like it might be the correct family:

    Edvard Herstad died 12 December in Aker, Akershus, Norway. His death record is here:

    This doesn't record where he was buried. You may have to visit the Lutheran church in Aker to find out where that was.

    I was not able to find a death record for Gina Amalie Gunneriusdatter Herstad, but I did locate a tree in MyHeritage that claims she died 15 June 1958 in Oslo. I have no way of knowing if that information is correct because I can't look at recent records due to privacy laws in Norway (and many other places!!). This is a screen shot of the search and results:

    If you have access to MyHeritage, you can see the family tree here: https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-1-269165281-1-504275/gina-amalia-johannesen-herstad-fodt-guneriusdatter-in-myheritage-family-trees.

    Oslo is a huge city and there is certainly more than one cemetery there. Finding the correct grave is going to be an immense task! I am not sure how to begin looking for that.

    You might be able to contact the manager of the website above, Kent Evensen. He would probably be able to help you.
