You are lucky to have one place/one religion. My great grandmothers and two great grandfathers are buried in Scotland, England and Ireland. One pair of great grandparents are in a generational plot that belongs to my 2nd great grandparents. The Irish great grandparents are somewhere in Cavan (or maybe Fermanagh). My Swiss great grandmother is in England with her infant children, unmarked grave, but her husband and another great grandfather are in Canada--one in Montreal and one in Waterloo Ontario. My mother's parents are buried in a country cemetery near Montreal (somewhere they liked to vacation), my mother and sister are buried in my brother-in-law's plot in Montreal because they were Catholic, my father's parents are buried in the Protestant cemetery in Montreal and I don't know where my father's ashes are as my stepbrother had his urn and my stepmother's and I have lost touch with him.
