Sometimes a newspaper notice might list where the funeral was going to. Place of burial probably depends on religion and possibly earlier family connections. Here's a graveyard map which might give you some ideas, however, not all people had gravestones and not all that do exist are online or have even been transcribed.

Hello

There are graveyards at Rashee, Ballynure, and Ballyclare which could be possibility's. 

Can you give us the name of the people your looking for?

I have some photos of gravestones for Old Rashee graveyard and Ballynure.  I could have a look for you.

Hi John the names are Robert Davidson died 12th April 1898 in Ballyalbanagh his wife Eliza Davidson died 26th January 1903 in Ballyeaston this would be a great help, as I am in Ireland at the moment thankyou.

[BallyaltikilliganG]

as you are there, heres my offering
not straight forward
Second Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church [the church with burial  records 1842-9 and 1901-18]
19 Trenchill Rd, Ballyeaston, Ballyclare BT39 9SJ
ie West of Ballyeaston village
400 yards away from
First Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church
Lower ballyboley Road,  Ballyeaston, BT39 9SH
ie East of Ballyeaston village
which in turn is going 400 yards further eastwards is the start of Ballyalbanagh Road

1901 Census from http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie
Your Eliza is not Lizzie Davidson living in 1901 at 41 in Ballyalbanagh (Ballycor, Antrim)
Your Eliza is not Elizabeth Davidson living in 1901 at 34 in Ballyeaston Town [ballyclare]


the most likely person in 1901 census is
2 in Ballyeaston (Ballyclare, Antrim)
Davison   Eliza   75   Female   Head of Family   Presbyterian   Co Antrim   -   Read and write   Irish and English   Widow   -
Davison   Robert   25   Male   Grand Son   Presbyterian   Co Antrim   Farm Servant   Read and write   Irish and English   Not Married   -
Although name entered for each as Davison I think in a different hand, the final signature is E liza Davidson.  Whose property included a fowl house

that lead me back to the griffith primary valuation

Davidson   John   Ballyeaston       Ballycor   Antrim
has 3 acres land at 3A. sadly the particular map used has no map refs for the townland , the original might be seen at Ballymena Hdgs library or the current valuation office, Belfast

Davidson   Hugh   Ballyalbanagh   Ballycor   Antrim has  map ref 66   21 acres and a house valued £1 five shillings. No other houses are visible, as unexpected
 I think this map ref works showing a the top end of 2nd unnamed road going northwards of the Lower Ballyboley road at 50 lower Ballyboley Road. in an easterly direction spiral northwards showing a large barn sitting over a house
going to a satellite view the google map direction is ttps://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.7803362,-5.9704554/Lower+Ballyboley+Rd,+Ballyclare+BT39+9SL/@54.7891346,-5.9736499,43m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x4861a576996a875b:0x5e208b266bfa7f3b!2m2!1d-5.9975339!2d54.7742634!3e0

Also ref 57Bc John Davidson is living in a modest house valued at 5 shillings pa. I can find 57B but not 57Bc the townland suddenly is constricted just below its most northerly neck where a place name exists Whitefordstown this a mile and a quarter, northwards, the road divides the north westroad immediately becomes the s w part of John Davidson little house area.   His homestead that bldg. marked with a c might be indistinct within the constricted neck small bulge  above the constricted neck
see http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/single_layer/i8.php?lat=&longt=&dum=0&sheet=39,45&mysession=2605855667868&info=&place=&county=ANTRIM&placename=BALLYALBANAGH&parish=BALLYCOR&country=Ireland&union=&barony=ANTRIM,%20UPPER

I close with a peep at the Tithes Applotment book Tithes Applotment Books
1823-1837 to find no listing appears for Ballycor   The relevant original books are in the
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) Belfast it would be worth checking no listing exists.
