I am trying to locate where my Grand dad is buried/cremated.

He died on 31st March 1972 and lived in Almondsbury, Gloucestershire, England.

What other sources are there for the area I could check to find this information?

A couple of suggestions for you in the local area that may narrow down your search:

Gloucestershire county archives are largely kept at the archive office in Gloucester.

Almondsbury nowadays is pretty much just a suburb of Bristol, which has its own archives. These include local cremation records, which may help if your Granddad was cremated in a Bristol crematorium.

Almondsbury comes under the diocese of Bristol, which keeps church burial records.

There are online and in-person searches possible at each of these.
