I created an event called Cremation, but I wasn't happy with it. I decided to enter the cremation date in the burial field with location being the town of cremation. In the burial notes, I explain that this was a cremation and give the location of the ashes. My Aunt was cremated and her ashes scattered in the Atlantic Ocean. There was a time when Legacy wouldn't accept the Atlantic Ocean as a location without a pop-up box notifying the user that this was not a legitimate location, but it accepts it now. My grandfather died when the ship on which he served during WW II was sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean and his body was never recovered. I entered the following in the burial location: SS Balladier, North Atlantic Ocean, then gave a lengthy explanation in my notes.
