Every cemetery operates differently.
What you should ask for is a photocopy of the LOT CARD for your relative. You MUST send either the date of death or burial for any success. Most cemeteries are cataloged by date, NOT by name. Cemeteries have very small budgets and they do these lookups for free. If you have a question , stop by and search to see if it has already been asked.
