Well Ages were Stone, Bronze, Iron.
Not sure about cremation practices (in England or elsewhere.

They go Neolithic to Bronze to Iron. So while Stone age would be before Bronze, probably not for this question.
Some cremations, some burials.

“ As the Bronze Age ended, and the Iron Age began, cremation continued to be a popular method of burial, but there was also later a shift towards using cemeteries to bury the dead. Human sacrifices such as the Lindow Man were practiced, although they do seem to be relatively rare, with animal sacrifices being more common. Occasionally, burials in pits at the bottom of hillforts have been found, or even the odd chariot burial, associated with the Arras culture found mainly in East Yorkshire.”

I actually heard that type of complaint from an A-A student who toured the British Museum. He was offended that the volunteer docent didn't know enough about some African artifacts in the vast, vast, vast collection.
