Maybe, if Jane was not originally from Dolgellau, she (or her family) might
have chosen for her to be buried in her home village or town, or
alternatively to be buried with her husband who was from elsewhere. If you
don't know where either of these places was, it may be worth checking the
MIs of the surrounding area eg Llanfachreth, Llanelltyd etc.

Hello Jane,
Apart from the municipal cemetery and the graveyards attached to the
Anglican
Church only two Dolgellau churches have burial grounds. Salem
Methodist church and Judah Baptist church. Neither the nonconformists nor
the Anglicans have used their plots since before 1910 when the municipal
cemetery was first opened except for the occasional reopening of a family
grave. I have looked at the MI indices for them all but none contain a
memorial to your Jane Elizabeth.
The crematorium most often used by Dolgellau people (until very recently,
when a
new one was opened near Aberystwyth) would have been Pentrebach near
Wrexham and very occasionally Bangor. I don't know if either of these was
open in 1951
All the best
Alwyn
