Of course location of burial is important, but the name of the cemetery is important also. How do I do that?

    There is a burial section in the vitals section. You can enter the name of the cemetery and many cemeteries are on the standardized list, if yours is not you can still list the cemetery in the input area and then standardize it to the nearest city or local jurisdiction in the standardized area.

    Got it. Thank you. Will try the second part again, I think I've tried that before and it didn't work, but will try more seriously. I don't think that people should have to go to the Vitals section if they are looking for where someone is buried. Not user friendly if someone wants to visit the grave and goes to the Burial entry. I've worked with thousands of names, and that didn't pop into my awareness.
