Chris, I did not say that one should, and, as I thought I had made clear, I don't. I was only suggesting another way of doing it. I have always believed, that the way in which one enters the Event Data and Sources is personal, provided it is accurate, clear and reproducable by others.
A cemetery address I enter as a Location in Family View. I do have a Cemetery Master Source in which the Detail Records say how and when I got the information. If it's a record containing all the contents (names) in a grave, then I may also add it to the Text Section, but usually, I just attach the picture to the Source Detail.
