I think you need to find her death certificate. I don’t think a cemetery keeps those records.

I know some will have it on the card they have on file for where their grave is located. I tried requesting her certificate but I only know the year she was born & died, I can’t find her full dates.

The little town cemetery where my family is buried isn't even connected to the cemetery. The cemetery is a separate entity. The only thing on the " card " there is who owns the plot. The rest is only word of mouth ( small town ) and what has been recorded within the family, and or like said above, on the death certificate. That has been my experience anyway. And best of success, I spent countless hours digging.

In small towns only a handful of people die per year. If the town has paper records handy then checking an entire year is not too difficult. Call the town office and see if they can help.
