If you really want this information quickly, your best bet is to edit your question and provide some details for your great grandmother (full name, approximate year and location of birth/death, spouses name)!.
Ancestry!.com does offer free access to some of there databases, you only need an email address to register!. It really depends on the location you are searching - the Utah Cemetery Inventory is one of the databases that is free, there are only a few others for select counties in KS, NC, SC, NY, TX!. This link lists the free ancestry!.com databases!.

There are probably more vital records (birth, marriage, death) available with this information rather than cemetery records!. For instance California death records provide the all the data you listed - free at rootsweb!.com!. The Social Security Death Index covers all of the US but doesn't provide mother's maiden names - also free at rootsweb!.com!.
There are many more free websites, but without knowing where you're searching its difficult to know which ones to suggest !. Good luck in your quest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
If you will post your great grandfather's name and where he lived, plus some other info, like his wife's name or something (to narrow it down to him) we can help you find this information!.
If you get the free subscription to Ancestry, do what it says and you don't have to pay after 14 days!.
You can't search for graves on Ancestry!. They don't have that database!. There are family trees that have been submitted, that might be what you found before!.

This is a guess, but you might have found death records online, they are available for some states (such as OH and NC) via Ancestry!.com!. Minnesota has free birth and death record index info, which also gives mother's maiden name (that wonderful site is mnhs!.org)!. Ancestry also has US Veterans' gravesite information, and some regional grave databases, such as Missouri!. FindAGrave!.com is a terrific grave database, if your ancestor's not on that site you can eventually add a record once you find where the ancestor is buried!.
If you could please mention where these people lived, we could provide information pertinent to your search!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
