And don't forget, with "Cemetery" entered as an Event, you can now attach a photograph of the gravestone which will also print out in reports. You can also make the photograph a Source for your Cemetery event as well as a source for Burial location, Name, Birth date, and Death date.

For this - I named the event Cemetery (just start typing and it pops up in Event) ; under Description I put the cemetery name : under date I put the date of burial (at least year) : under Place I put the location (City,County,State,USA for most of mine) and finally in Notes I put the Plot and/or Find-A-Grave number.
