Following Hist.Build's suggestion, I contacted Dorking Cemetery today and got a nice e-mail back.
Unfortunately there is no record of Wheeler having been cremated or buried in Dorking and none of the staff can recall having seen a monument of any kind at that place, although they told me that there is a private crematorium in Leatherhead that might know something more. I'll keep trying.
I have heard via another web site that Flinders Petrie's head has been 'verifiably' located at the Royal College of Surgeons building in Lincoln's Inn Fields, despite some suggestions that this was lost in transit between Palestine and London.
