With those surnames you are probably referring to St. Joseph, Monroe. The Genealogical Society of Monroe County, Michigan members walked the different cemeteries in Monroe county 20 years ago and wrote down the vital information off of the readable tombstones. I did St. Joseph's Monroe, which has mostly the burials of St. Mary's, St. John the Baptist, St. Joseph, St. Michael, Monroe and other mainly Catholic church burials. I recently rewalked the cemetery, and re-did the project. There are over 10,000 readable tombstones (and this doesn't count the unreadable and unmarked, which would add several thousand again, we believe.) The older list and update is available for researching at the Monroe County Library System branch Ellis in Monroe, and at the Monroe County Historical Museum archives, in Monroe. It is not for internet use, only private! use. Use the church records in conjunction with the tombstone information. The Catholic church records have been microfilmed by the Archidiocese of Detroit and are available for public use at the Ellis branch library. Good luck.
