which includes Kilmarnock cemetery (including a photo of the grave of Samuel Kennedy jnr d. 1947) but nothing in Riccarton yet. According to my list of MIs from SAFHS both Riccarton old churchyard and Kaimshill have been surveyed but only pre-1855 MIs have been published.
I had a quick peek at them just now in the Mitchell library here in Glasgow but can confirm they are only pre-1855.
You could contact East Ayrshire council but they will charge you for a lookup:

Bear in mind that he may be in an unmarked grave so there may be nothing to see anyway. The period you are indicating he died in ie 1880s is about the time when marked graves really start to thin out.
No sign of Samuel's death in my database yet I'm afraid.
