Surely, the whole purpose of having Address fields, in addition to Location fields, is to allow one to enter exact locations, be they street addresses or grave sites in a cemetery?
Personally, I have no scruples about entering the entire address in the Location field (Grave 123, XYX Cemetery, Town, County, Country) and enter the Lat/Long if I know it, but I know there are purists throwing up their hands in horror.
