I believe it would suggest that they are no longer an elderly couple, so yes, they have died (or grown younger, and if that's the case then I would like to know how they did it!)
I would write those three sentences as one sentence, maybe something like this: "Trevor and Emma, an elderly couple living alone in a small town near London, were preparing for their wedding anniversary."
