Default Episcopalian cemeteries in Flemington?

I am searching for information on my great great grandfather, William Howard Kennedy and his wife Annie (maiden name Shultz), and I have reason to believe that he is buried somewhere in Flemington. I know very little about him aside from information gleaned from a framed note my grandmother recently found from the rector of the church my great grandparents were married in. It reads as follows:

"This is to certify that William H. Kennedy of Elizabeth and Annie Shultz of Pine Brook (Montville) were joined in holy matrimony at Christ Church, Shrewsbury, NJ on November 15th, 1905."

According to my grandmother, my great great grandparents had a farm in Whitehouse and she's certain that they are both buried in Flemington. Though I have reason to believe that my great great grandfather was Catholic, it would seem to follow that since he and his wife were married in an Episcopalian church that they would be buried in an Episcopalian cemetery. Any ideas where to look?

Here's a link to the current Episcopal Church in Flemington, that should be a good place to start:

Also what you can do is look to see if they have sites online. If so, you can email to ask if they have so & so buried there, they should be able to reply. Chances are, they lost touch with who ever was caring for the graves.

I emailed a cemetary in South Plainfield asking where my hubby's grandfather was buried, also mentioned my son's GF, they said they needed a contact for my ex-FIL.

They ended up sending us a map and a guide to who was buried where. Most of my hubby's family is there.

Good luck with your search. I don't have grandparents in the US.
