First thing is to contact the cemetary & confirm that there is a gravestone or marker to photograph.

If there is a marker then re-post naming the Cemetary where you want the photograph taken.

Also you will need the plot location of the grave.

Researching:

The Cemetery Superintendent may be willing to photograph it for you, especially as you are a n.o.k. No harm in asking! ;-)

If you are sure of the cemetery and put the details on here then someone on here might live near there and be willing to take a potograph for you. I think people on here cover pretty much all the country so you could be lucky - and they're also very obliging!
If you don't want to put names on here, put the name of the cemetery and ask if anyone can help would they please pm you for the names.
