If they are buried in Ontario, there is also the OCFA or the ontario
Cemetery Finding Aid that lists (or will when it is complete) all the marked
graves in all the cemeteries within Ontario.

You can search the names, and then write to the closest Ontario Genealogy
Society group and they will send you the full transcription from the
gravestone with whatever info is on the stones. I worked on this project
with my Dad for a couple of summers on hot summer evenings walking through
the stones and writing down every word, letter design on tehm, and really
enjoyed it. He had a good sense of humour about the whole topic and quite
enjoyed our visits there and teased me about how "you'd better like it here,
because you'll spend more time here than you ever will any other place". And
that's where both my Mom and DAd are this year. For the first Christmas Eve
ever, there will be no Nanny and Papa's to go to. I'm heartbroken.
