It appears that Elizabeth is buried here after being moved here from the Kings Chapel Burying Ground in 1862.
She also appears in Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor Maine.
Her husband died there and is probably interred there but she does have a monument there also. A findagrave member provided the following information --Elizabeth's plot is Walnut Avenue, Lot 3176, but I could not find a stone for her or a plot marker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggested edit: Re-interred 31 May 1862 from one of the tombs at Park St Church, Boston.

I do not know why there is not a tomb given, but it does appear she was supposed to go to King's Chapel and couldn't get in. The tombs were cleared at Park St Church and the buried had to be re-interred elsewhere. The persons that went into this lot at Mount Auburn were "unclaimed burials". They did seem to have a bad time finding family members at time of the re-interments, which went from 1862 to 1901, with a few scattered up to abt 1909. This was a difficult removal because the tombs were actually under the church and had to be removed very carefully to keep the structure from coming down, but 1862 was the first removals.
