Burial Locations

Marcia Gay Bowie said: 3 items. I love being able to select the Cemetery names and their locations but have noticed the burial location does not print out except on a Family Group sheet. A fanchart of burial locations would be nice especially when making trips to cemeteries when on vacation.
Also noticing that not all burial locations, even if they were standardized with the GPS symbol and a date was entered, are displayed on the map in the timeline on the website.
One more thing if possible to fix, when attaching Find A Grave as a source, it would be great if the Cemetery name along with the town, county and state was included in the burial information to add to our ancestor. Right now I have to manually edit the burial location to put in the cemetery name.
Thank you for all you do.

Item 2-- Fan charts are largely limited to ancestral lines and do not include other family members or descendants (and where descendants are included, do not include burial information). There are only a limited number of descendant lines included.

Item 3 is certainly worth considering, but since Find a Grave provides the index to its records, FamilySearch would have to massage the index before publishing it. The cemetery name certainly could be included. As it is FamilySearch already massages the index to generate (not in Find a Grave's records) a burial date based upon the person's death date.
