Drive down this road approximately 1.5-2 miles. You will make a 90% turn to the right, then immediately back to the left. When you get to the second 90 o turn to the right, there will be an iron gate in that corner with a cattle guard. Open the gate, drive through, and close the gate, then drive .9 miles through the cow pasture along the path (follow the tire tracks). The end of the path is the cemetery.
