Hm, righto. You're in luck, actually, there's been a recent Archeological find in Britain of an amazing burial site from the early medieval period (600-1000). A couple of links that might be of use to you:

The Staffordshire Hoard is the most recent find:

and is *amazing*.
The Maciejowski Bible would have a few ideas about burials:

I'd also suggest looking for medieval family Bibles - like the Maciejowski Bible, the illuminations give a lot of information about how people lived, worked and died. If you need anything else, let me know. :D
