Looking for record of deceased Quebecois ancestor

Trying to obtain the death record of Louis Charles Olivier Charbonneau, born St-Eustache, Deux Montagnes, Quebec, January 30, 1858. According to the 1900 census for his mother Marie Anne (Dillon) Charbonneau, she gave birth to 8 children, but only 5 were living at the time of the census. I know the dates of the other siblings who died at Moose River Settlement, NY. Not sure if death occurred in St-Eustache or NY.

1901 census for her household would not include her children who were adult and living elsewhere, so that is not an indication that they died.

Given the common name of Louis, I am not sure because of the census information about the number of living children. That needs to be more investigated before confirming.

I find that cemetery here: http://www.leslabelle.com/Cimetieres/AfficherCim.asp?MP=F3&CID=1917 

But there is no parish named as associated with it to give an indication where he might have had his funeral to find a record for him.  Also, this place is close to Sherbrooke, not St-Eustache.  While possible that he moved, a large caveat on FaG data such as this.  Need more sources.

The problem is that Louis Charbonneau is NOT a rare name, I find another Louis Charbonneau in 1901 census living in St-Martin on Île Jésus (now part of Laval), whose date of birth is recorded as 6 Nov 1858.

After receiving the first answer, I was not convinced by the find a grave information as a reliable source. My reference to the census, of my ancestor having 8 children with only 5 still living seemed accurate. I have accurate information on the other two, will continue to research. I too agree that I need more sources.
