There should be a person looking after this cemetary - most of the times they live there for generations. Without their knowing noone gets burried at this cemetary. They should have records, dating very far back, and if they don't store them on-site - they can tell you where you can find those records.
Look for a house just next to a cemetary gates.

Peggy's right,I had this problem a while back.I had a little boy who sadly I lost at 23 weeks of pregnancy.The hospital conducted a burial but I was unable to attend due to ill health.As the years went by I found it harder and harder to forget.I knew the cemetery and phoned them one day out of the blue.The lady I spoke to was extremely helpfully and sent me a map and the grave number.Good luck and what a lovely thought to have headstones erected.

At each cemetery there is an office, usually near the entrance. As long as you know your grandparents names and burial dates, they should be able to give you a plot number of the grave. They can even show you a plan of where the grave actually is in the cemetery.
Hope this helps you,

Hiya,
I have read some of those answers and they arn't that nice, some are very true though, like most people said,
'There should be a map of were bodies are and should have your grandparents names, if you don't no what ceremenie they are buried in, do some reaseach, theres always a light at the end of the tunnel, so don't give up!

My mother also wanted to find her father's grave, and we went to the office located in the cemetery, they were able to locate the grave from records kept, I think it is law that they must keep those records so all grave yards will have them.

Go to or call the cemetery. They should have a map of the grave sites, and who is located where.

I'd stand in the middle of the cemetery and call their names. See if anybody answers.
