Sorry for the delay in replying -- I have more time on weekends. James Collins actually died on June 2, 1870. I have a copy of his death certificate. The inquest was held on June 7, 1870 and concluded that he was "crushed by the buffer of a coal tram which accidentally ran back on the incline plane in the Trafalgar Colliery and knocked the deceased down." The same wording is used on his death certificate. I don't know where the wording you quote came from.
James Collins was my great grandfather via his son Isaac Collins. I also have a copy of a memorial card "In affectionate remembrance of James Collins." Perhaps it's the same as the memorial you mention. I have lots of information on the Collins family. James was born in West Hanney, Berkshire (father Jonathan Collins; mother Martha Brakespear) on 4 June 1821. I also have the 1848 certificate of marriage between James Collins and Prudence Harris. What else would you like to know?
