I would hope that the record on deceasedonline also contains the plot reference so that the grave can be found.
My local cemetery is on deceasedonline and you get a list of all the people buried in the same grave, but it may not be the same for all cemeteries, or perhaps he is buried alone in a private grave.

This is one of my favourites :

In ever loving memory of our darling baby Blanche Rose who fell asleep Feb. 15th 1898 aged two years.
Adieu sweet babe short was thy stay
Just lent awhile and called away
Thy angel face we all did see
But oh how soon deprived of thee
Sleep on dear babe and take thy rest
God calleth those he loveth best

My gt gt gt grandmother, Mary Follett, was born illegitimate in 1803, as indicated in the Baptism Register. Her second marriage in 1851 named her father as John Perham. There were some Perhams in the village, not connected to my ancestors, so I don't think the father's name was invented. I wasn't able to identify John Perham - too little to go on with just a name.

The standards seem to vary from one extreme to the other don't they.  The way some people make photo requests is another thing to ponder.  I've seen examples of multiple requests for a plot because it has Tom, Dick and Harry in it.  In that scenario I make one request and add a message with all the names rather than 3 requests and no message at all.

I'm about to fulfil a request like that. Perhaps the requester doesn't know that all three people are in the same grave. I don't mind because I will get three Volunteer Photo credits when I fulfil the request. I found the grave the other day but the sun was shining through foliage onto the grave and the photos looked awful so I'm going back to get better ones.

My maternal grandfather was one of 15 children. The first was born in 1875 when great grandmother was 23, and she didn't leave off until she was 46. The menopause must have been a great relief to her. She must have had the constitution of an ox because she lived until she was 92. My mother remembered her as a tiny woman dressed all in black and looking like Queen Victoria. Her husband, a blacksmith and farmer, had died many years before when he was 72.

On the other side, my paternal grandparents had three children in three years. The doctor told granddad if he didn't ease up he would kill his wife. They had only two more children at longer intervals. Grandmother died aged 68 before I was born.
