I have been entering each cemetery as a location and attaching photos, etc. to the "buried" line of the individual's information section (where you can enter burial address, notes and pictures, and there is a check box if they were cremated). What is the reason to also enter each cemetery as a master source for events? Should a cemetery be both a location and an event?
