When the the above is pasted into the "Place of Burial", the Atlantic Catholic Cemetery is the only option other than Non-standardized Place.

Per Find a Grave: the two are not the same but FS thinks they are with an Alternate name for the Catholic cemetery

Using the Latitude and Longitude in Google maps

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/41.40170,+-94.98140/41.40301,-94.98035/@41 .4021713,-94.9841178,1029m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!4m5!1m3!2m2!1d-94.9814!2d41.4017!1m0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

shows the two cemeteries are adjacent to each other.

No identification signs are at the west entrance on U.S. Highway 71 / Whitney Street.

The two should not be conjoined since non-Catholics, as I understand it, are not allowed to be buried in a Catholic cemetery. If the default remains, then the religious affiliation of the deceased may be misunderstood, or the ancestor not found.

Two persons where I ran into this problem are

    @FLQR It looks like the updates to the burial choices have gone through. If anyone is seeing something different, please let the community know so we can look into it further.
