I have not found him in the Cook County Death Index...thought I could at least give you his certificate number to order his record.  He may have lived in Indiana since his SS record shows that is where his card was issued.

Thanks, Uncle Virgil X. Stanton probably applied for S S in Ind. after leaving Ks., I do know he resided in Chicago and died at home in Chicago, so am still looking for his grave site, bjb

I would say go for an obituary or his death certificate (since you have the dates).  Either should show the place of burial.

His 5 May 1960 obituary in the Chicago Tribune said interment was at Cedar Park.
 
I've attached a Word document with the obituary

Cedar Park cemetery is located on Halsted Street.
 
 
Findagrave has over 500 listing but that probably is just the tip of the iceberg.
 
 
This site has a picture of the main gate : http://www.graveyards.com/bin/grave?id=36
 
Some sites state it is Chicago and others list as Calumet,while the street number and name are the same. This must be one of those Chicago on one side of the street and Calumet on the other side. If you address a letter to the wrong city it will be returned. My great aunt once lived in three different towns/citys in three years and never moved. They just couldn't decide which city her house was in. LOL
