J Conn said: Come up with with a standardized burial format for cremations when disposition of the cremains is unknown. While the majority of such events end with placement in a cemetery setting I seem to be seeing more records where that is not the case.

Possibly adding a "button" to the burial field that could be clicked on when such an event has occurred without a known location that "tells" the database to accept a lack of date or location for it.

    So, for example, if you don't know if there was a burial, don't put anything in the burial field. There is a field for Cremation under Other Events; put what you know about the cremation (date, funeral home's address) there.
