The Badger Avenue entrance is on the south side. The Market St entrance, where I know there is a map, is on the SE corner. That's where the office is, as well.

Thank you everyone for your help with this enquiry. I managed to revisit Crewe Cemetery, and found the grave! I now have more clues for where the family came from in Germany. Plus I found some Gebhards buried nearby. - bonus!!

Interestingly, although the Crewe burial book records a burial of Catherine Sophia Gebhardt, the wording on the gravestone doesn't mention that surname. The grave was erected by her son, so presumably he did not want to commemorate his mother's second marriage (she married a Gebhardt after her first husband died).
