I did a search for the surname “Smith” (knowing I’d find lots of people) in the Eastview and Oakland Cemeteries search engine. I got 235 hits on the surname. See the illustration. Click on it to do your own search of that cemetery. Found the search results are the name of the deceased person, and their date of birth, death, and interment. Also found is the the exact place of the grave: section, block, lot, and grave number. Of special interest to genealogists is that the name of the funeral home is listed! Columns are found for AKA (also known as) and place of death. However, I found that that column is almost always empty of data.
