    In two (x2) ways/suggestions:-

    .

    Firstly ...

    .

    In 'Vitals" Section, under "Burial", PREFIX the 'Date' field with the word (including the 'Comma') of "Cremation, ..." followed by the actual 'Date' (of the "Cremation") - you can still "Standardise" the 'Date' with "Text" in that field; and, do not forget to include how the "Ashes" were 'Disposed of' (eg. "Scattered"; "Taken by ..."; or, even, in an 'Urn' with a particular Family member or just associate or place).

    .

    Secondly ...

    .

    In "Other Information" Section, by "+ Add Information", under "Events", down to "+ Cremation", which includes a 'Date' and a 'Place'; and, once again, do not forget to include how the "Ashes" were 'Disposed of' (eg. "Scattered"; "Taken by ..."; or, even, in an 'Urn' with a particular Family member or just associate or place) .

    .

    I hope this helps.
