Try checking with the Swedish Cemetery Corporation in Worcester.  A great many of the area Swedes are buried there.  They operate two burial grounds: Old Swedish Cemetery on Webster Street (dedicated 1885) and the former New Swedish Cemetery (now All Faiths) located on nearby Island Road and opened in 1922.
Try and give them as much info as possible--they are great to work with, but it may take awhile for an answer, as the Secretary (Denise) has to pull the records and she's real busy most days!
