I did have something similar happen to me, Patti. The cemetery should have records going back to its inception. But be aware that older records, especially going back before World War II, may be somewhat incomplete. They probably exist in the physical sense but may not be in any database.
I needed to locate my grandmother's plot in Maine. (Lewistown, not Collinsport). I knew that she was buried with Uncle Arthur, whom I had never met. They found Arthur easily enough but grandmother wasn't with him. After some tense moments, I realized that Arthur was his American name. He also had a French name, which turned out to be Adelard. With that bit of information, they were able to locate the plot.
A little nail biting, to be sure, but I don't think that anyone had asked for that information in years.
