In my experience (much of it in the state you're apparently talking about), when the place is named but not the name of the cemetery, there's only one cemetery in that place. For instance, if Dry Prong has one cemetery, there's little point to filling in Dry Prong Cemetery, Dry Prong, Mumble Count ST...certainly few people I know in the place I think you mean would bother doing that!
