Probably too recent for online, and no-one can go looking for you in the area, because of the current situation

Contact the local Council cemetery department when the Covid-19 emergency ends.

Are you certain he was buried?

Just for the record - not that it helps - born 1919, not 1922:

Ernest Arthur Pettitt
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Ernest Arthur Pettitt
Death Age: 72
Birth Date: 27 Nov 1919
Registration Date: Apr 1992
Registration district: Penzance
Inferred County: Cornwall
Volume: 21
Page: 273

What might help is the fact that he lived in Lelant, near St Ives - maybe buried near there? (If buried and not cremated.)

Arnest Arthur Pettitt [ Ernest on image ]
in the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1995
Name: Arnest Arthur Pettitt
Death Date: 20 Apr 1992
Death Place: Ives Cornwall
Probate Date: 18 Jun 1992
Probate Registry: Bristol


PETTIT, Ernest Arthur of 9 Abbey Meadow, Lelant, St Ives, Cornwall, died 20 April 1992 . . . .


Maybe this cemetery:

which took over from this one:

On the other hand, he may have been buried with parents or other relatives somewhere else.
Or cremated.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Someone on Ancestry has photos in a tree on the site, so presumably is closely connected
