I also do all of this, but I add one more identifying piece of information. I pick a landmark that is probably going to be permanent, and describe each stone's location based on that landmark. Cemetery signs are poor landmarks, they often get moved closer to the entrance, or closer to the road, etc. My favorite landmark is the largest cemetery stone in that cemetery, or a super tall obelisk, or a big flagpole. I used to depend on cemetery entrances as "landmarks," but those get moved as the cemetery expands.
