It just so happens that Urasaki Hiromi has a rensai in Shinario on the 
graves of film people (though, since it is a screenwriter's journal, he 
focuses mostly on screenwriters). The June issue features Okamoto. He 
is buried in Shunjuen:

According to Urasaki, it is plot 10-12-10. Mifune Toshiro, Takahashi 
Etsushi, Kato Daisuke, Wada Natto, Yamamoto Satsuo and Fukasaku Kinji 
are others in the same graveyard.

I don't know about Masumura.
