How do I record a cremation rather than a burial on FamilyTree?

There is an option under other information to enter information about cremation. Just select other information tab below vital information, and select add information and you will see cremation as an option on the list.

FYI

.

This is just me ...

Each to their own ...

.

In the "Vitals" Section against the "Burial" field:

.

▬ I usually include/add the word "Cremated" as a "Prefix" to the 'Date' sub-field

.

▬ it is acceptable; and, you can still "Standardise" that 'Date' sub-field, even with words/text included/added; and,

.

If know, I include/add HOW the "Ashes" were 'Disposed of' - ie. Taken, Scattered (at the Cemetery; around the 'plaque' at the Cemetery; at Sea; on the Beach; on the Farm, etc) whatever the case may be, in the 'Place' sub-field.

.

ALSO ...

.

And, then, in the "Other Information" Section, under "Events", there is s specific "Event" for "Cremation" - add the details there as well.

.

ie.

"Other Information" Section,

▬ "+ 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 add/include the same details in BOTH of the aforementioned places. As, you then have 'the best of both worlds', so to speak.

.

I hope this helps.
