Where is Didier Masson?

Anyone know where Didier Masson is buried? He died in 1950. I believe his widow ended up in Chetumal, Belize. He might have died in Santa Barbara but I can't seem to find anything about it.

After World War I he returned to Mexico, where he met and married a young woman named Modesta Escalante, subsequently drifting on to British Honduras and becoming involved in a number of nonflying and apparently not too successful activities. He ran a commission firm in the export-import business, became the French consular officer in 1935, and later served as airport manager for Pan American before budget constraints closed that operation.

In the mid-1930s, Masson tried to interest publishers in a book he had written about his flying experiences during the Mexican Revolution, but he apparently found no takers. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of that manuscript is unknown.

When France surrendered to the invading Germans on June 16, 1940, Masson resigned from his consular post. He left British Honduras in 1942 to work as the manager of the Hotel Iris in Chetumel, Mexico. He died in Merida, Yucatan, on June 2, 1950.

Thanks to you, I was able to make contact with ex-pats in Merida, and this was the response:
You need to know though that the grave is no longer there, the body is there according the young man who checked the location of Didier Masson interred June 1950. He is located in the group 32 # 15. This space is now occupied by a Elodia Jovita Villanueva Castillo who was buried May 16, 2001. Didier is just under this person. Perhaps this makes sense as a quick internet search showed that Didier's wife died destitute and would not have paid for upkeep. That is either the explanation or the grave locator was shining me on, but I do not really think so.

Now I want to get an appropriate monument erected to his memory.
Thanks again for your quick response.
