Carnmoney Cemetery is run by Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council, who hold the records of burials. It has two sections, split by Prince Charles Way. They are known as Carnmoney Main (opened 1906), and Carnmoney East (opened 1944). All denominations are buried here. The East Cemetery was then extended in several phases.
Carnmoney Cemetery is huge, there is a map of its various sections at the entrance. Each headstone has the plot number on the base, which supposedly makes locating the grave fairly easy.

Council maintained Section maps from Findagrave:

The Council took over a small area/section at the eastern end of Carnmoney Parish Graveyard No.2 (the '1921 Extension') on the corner bordered by Church Road and Prince Charles Way. The remaining Church of the Holy Evangelists burial grounds are not maintained by them, marked A, B, C on this Rootschat map https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=629633.0;attach=357293;image

The Parish cemetery sections were transcribed by NIFHS in 3 booklets / CD’s outlined here https://carnmoney.connor.anglican.org/publications.html as available from NIFHS https://www.nifhs.org/product/the-carnmoney-three-in-one-set/

Just performed a search and found that the Cemeteries page of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council has had the burial portal link changed so now connects to discovereverafter dot com complete with drone aerial imagery to aid location of exact plots (when zoom in on results).

This is the Cemetery Mapping & Management software package also used now by Belfast City Council and several others in Northern Ireland (Plotbox / Everafter is a Ballymena based company).

https://antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk/residents/births-deaths-marriages-civil-partnerships/cemeteries/
"Records can be accessed using our search portal" is now
https://antrimandnewtownabbey.discovereverafter.com/

The old link https://myhostedapp.com/fmi/webd/anbc_portal still works though and has been updated with burials to at least Dec 2022.

Cemeteries listed are the same, so far only only performed a search for 2 surnames and viewed some results for Carnmoney Main & East + Ballyclare which all had the detailed individual plot maps but not the very few modern headstone pics that were apparent when I did a search using the old link. The new Everafter portal does not have 'Last Known Address' either which were recorded for some burials post 1990 previously, so it may be worth utilising both whilst available.
Results are ordered by forname by default but can been changed in the drop down box to date of death/burial or age.
