Check the yellow circle on the map image above to see the precise location of the Candulhallow's Tombstones. Upon arrival, look for the Cellar Door (X:91 Y:16) inside the office room.

To reveal the Cellar Door, interact with the button behind the portrait in the office room. You'll find it's locked and requires a passcode (Sicarius).
