Try "City in Blank Cemetery, County, State, USA" I find cemeteries to be different than Churches or Hospitals as part of locations, since the latter are buildings and are more easily recorded as addresses. Not all cemeteries have addresses.

I was intent on maintaining the USA entry because I also have a large number of foreign locations. Eventually I became brave enough to drop the USA entry, like you have, and put a comma between the Place and City rather than the word "in" so that the sort would be proper: Place, City, County, State This gave me exactly what I wanted, and surprisingly Legacy did not complain when I left my foreign locations as: Place, City, County, Country In the Place field I use a cemetery, church, school, hospital, or whatever is appropriate for the given event. This allows me to make a single, standardized entry for each Place without having to use the Notes field to specify the exact Place within the City each time. I can also put the exact address in the Location Notes field when I have it available. I have found this to be the best of both worlds and I sure wish that I had tried it sooner. I think you should stick with what you're doing! Exporting to a GEDCOM won't be a problem, since the entire location is just one long text string.

Therefore, I use the following location for burial information: Eddyville - Highland Cemetery, Wapello Co, IA, USA The Legacy thinks the first part of the field is a city Eddyville - Highland Cemetery In my normal sort on locations, this cemetery will show up next to: Eddyville, Wapello Co, IA, USA which is the desired result; otherwise, I would have to look for Highland Cemetery and know it was located in Eddyville, IA. Some folks also use the following format for the burial location: Eddyville(Highland Cemetery), Wapello Co, IA, USA which also works great. Just remember how the location fields typically work City, County, State, Country where each field is separated by a comma. The main thing is to be consistent with your data entry and figure the best way you are going to be able to find a cemetery location when you need it.
