Document reads Georgs Goodrich. Database shows only a George Goodrich who died in 1865 but was interred in 1866 - but the lot number in the DB is 3236 - not 478 as shown above. So there is some confusion here.
The George Goodrich at lot 3236 is George B. Goodrich (as opposed to George K. Goodrich). George B. Goodrich also has no relation to a Frances A. Goodrich, so it's likely this is an entirely different person.
Both George K and Frances A Goodrich are mentioned under lot 478 in the 1860 and 1867 editions of the Catalogue of Lots, while later versions bear no mention to them and instead list lot 478 as belonging to Charles W. Norton. Burial search also shows several other Nortons buried in this lot. My best guess is that George K and Frances A Goodrich owned the lot for some time, but it was later sold to the Nortons.
So one final question remains— where are George K and Frances A Goodrich buried if not Mount Auburn? Well, findagrave shows them both to be buried in Hopkinton NH! https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/155967559/frances-a.-goodrich
