Can I search by burial location alone?

I am working on a project to identify African Americans with no named markers at our community's historic cemetery. I am wondering if there is a way to search only by "burial location" alone, without putting anything in the name field. I see I can search by residence location, birth location, or death location, and I have identified a few of the interred this way…but what about simply burial location?

    Have you tried searching in the Cemeteries Search section? It's relatively new.
    https://www.familysearch.org/en/cemeteries/

    You can drill down to a location or even a specific cemetery, if it has been catalogued. As an example, I picked a random cemetery in Illinois, and there are 122 profiles listed.

    Thank you! That is exactly what I needed to know. That gives me another way to search. Much appreciated!
