Glenwood City Cemetery, 282-298 Memorial Drive, Glenwood, MN, 56334, USA
actually gives the place coordinates for:
101-153 W Oak St, Glenwood City, WI 54013
there are a slug of others, when I put the first address into google maps it gets me much closer as a partial.
is there something I can do to make these addresses more accurate?

Re: map life facts
Firstly, using Glenwood Cemetery works fine, i.e. leave out City
Alternatively, since you have the full address of 282-298 Memorial Drive, Glenwood, MN, 56334, USA then enclose the "Glenwood City Cemetery" part in string quotes to tell the geocoder to ignore that name.
With Glenwood City Cemetery, 282-298 Memorial Drive, Glenwood, MN, 56334, USA it still plotted in Glenwood, MN but further north in 6th Ave NW. Leave out any one of City or 282-298 or Memorial Drive, or Glenwood, and it plots correctly. You sometimes have to experiment like that.
It only plotted in W Oak St, Glenwood City, Wisconsin if I used Glenwood City, USA ?
So I have no idea how you got it to plot there.
