As with most things in life, there are exceptions. We had a family member donate her body for scientific research. After a time, the remains were cremated and we are in process of burying her ashes in a grave. There is more to the story but this seems sufficient for this discussion.

Jennifer,

You are trying to use cremation and burial as mutually exclusive
events when they are not.  Cremains can indeed be buried, as well
as retained in an urn or scattered outdoors.  If the cremains are
not buried, then there simply is no burial event.  The same would
be true for a body that was donated to medical science -- there
simply is no burial event.

The event of cremation could be considered more as an alternative
to the event of embalming than to the separate event of burial.

When entering data for burial or cremation, I enter both in the burial field in family view. The only problem I have with this is that reports don't give an option to change the wording from buried to cremated.

I have a report I want to generate which has only one person who was
cremated, not buried. I tried creating a RTF file and changing the
wording in Word. That worked fine, but I lost the line at the top and
bottom of the page. Trying to change the header and footer to make that
look like the Legacy report was 'too hard'.

It seems I have only two choices - produce a report which says 'buried'
when it should say 'cremated', or make an RTF file which doesn't look as
good.

I realise I could crate a cremation event for this person, but that
wouldn't read like the burials for other people.

Am I stuck with this problem?

Jennifer
