According to James' death certificate, he is buried at RC Shediac Road.

 - and from this, one of their sons is buried at the same place.

I would presume May is most likely buried in a family plot. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an online index that covers all burials at this location and I can't work out who currently cares for this cemetery.

I have been in contact with the cemetery on Shediac road and unfortunately they lost their records in a fire. The only records they have prior to the fire are from monuments.
Thanks for the help
