I would imagine Old Monkland Churchyard (which is 'inside' the boundary of Old Monkland Cemetery).

Burials from late 1700's, possibly also earlier.

Old Monkland was a large parish. Your ancestor could have been buried in the parish churchyard of Old Monkland at Kirkshaws (part of modern-day Coatbridge). Gartsherrie Parish churchyard (Coatbridge) or, if your ancestor was Catholic, St Joseph's cemetery in Airdrie.
North Lanarkshire Council holds any surviving records.

Day Books 1860 – 1997.  Also various Registers of Sales of Lairs.

Old Monkland Cemetery, Woodside Street, Coatbridge.
Day Books 1901 – 1997.  Various Cash Books, Ground Sale Books (from 1875) & Lair Owner Books.

Old Monkland Churchyard, Coatbridge.
No records.
