Some cemeteries will maintain a website which will often list operating hours, and some will post burial lists online for those sites. Type the cemetery name in a search engine to see if the cemetery you want to find has a website.  Some search engines show the location of the cemetery in the results, which can be helpful in verifying if you have the right cemetery or not.
