"In the public cemetery in Greenock", I think. Presumably one run by the local council, but you'll need someone else to give you a more precise ID.

looks like simply "in Cæmeterio publico".   presumably meaning not one belonging to the church.

 The notification does say public cemetery. Here is the website  to contact.   Greenock cemetery comes under the local govt heading of Inverclyde. http://www.inverclyde.gov.uk/education-and-learning/libraries/local-and-family-history/family-history/intimations

I would also suggest you post on the Scotland board under Renfrewshire. Local rootschatters are very helpful and someone may be able to locate the grave and take a photo if there is a memorial.
