Contact the cemetery and ask for the interment/burial date. Most have records from the start of the cemetery, though for very old/abandoned cemeteries you're out of luck. Or figure out what religion they were and contact the church to see if they have any records of the persons death if they did a service at the funeral. Good luck Kathy
