I typically will attach the photo/document only in one place. As Michele stated, if it’s a death certificate, its attached to the person who died. However, there can be exceptions. For example, let’s say you have no source citations to prove the marriage of the person to the spouse. Sometimes, a death certificate may provide that and if it’s the only valid source citation that proves a marriage, then I would use the death certificate as a source for the marriage.
If I ever discover a more main-stream type of marriage certificate, then I would use that as a source citation with photo instead and remove the death certificate as a source citation to the marriage. Yes, it’s true that it’s a valid source citation but for some reason, I just don’t like seeing a death certificate as a proof of a marriage and feel compelled to remove it when no longer necessary. Sometimes, a photo of a gravestone may also provide the only source citation of a marriage so thus the photo of a gravestone may appear not only in a burial/cemetery event but also in a marriage event.

I attach the photo in only one place. If it is a death certificate I attach it to the death field. If it is a funeral card I attach it to the burial field. If it is a baptismal record I attach it to the baptismal field. If it is a compiled service record I attached it to a military event, etc. I can use that document as a source for many fields but I will only attach the image to the one it specifically applies to.
