Unfortunately, a solution such as this removes the "burial" event
from the opening paragraph of pre-defined vital statistics and places it
down at the end of the event list.  This does not read well, and it also
makes the report appear to be very inconsistent from individual to
individual.  And it is quite possible that one would want to create reports
that do not include events, in which case this doesn't work at all.

The solution, of course, is to have more than just "Buried" as a choice --
perhaps including "Entombed", "Interred", "Donated", etc. that can be
chosen as appropriate for the individual.

There is a precedent for choice of wording in the "Baptism"/"Christened"
option, but, unfortunately, this is applied at the file level rather than
the individual level, making it essentially useless.

There is also an optional Preposition in the definition of a Location,
but I have yet to find any place where this preposition is actually used.
We have many, many options in Legacy, but the trick is in finding the
ones that work and the ones that don't!

How about this? I made one event called Interred and when it prints, it
reads:

Jane, 70, was interred and placed in a wall crypt on Feb 6, 2004 at
Barrancas National Cemetery, Pensacola, Escambia, Florida, USA.

I did this by customizing the sentence. This is Legacy Deluxe; I am not sure
what you have. If that is not to your liking, tell us what you want and we
will explain how to do it.

This is what the wording is in the Ancestor Report
for Jane Ann Jones:

Jane Ann Jones, daughter of William Arthur Jones and
Mary Louise Smith, was born on 1 Jan 1934 in Margate,
Broward, Florida, died on 2 Feb 2004 in Pensacola,
Escambia, Florida, at age 70, and was buried on 6 Feb
2004 in Pensacola (Barrancas National Cemetery),
Escambia, Florida.

Jane Ann was not buried.  How can I change to
wording to more accurately reflect that her inurned
cremains were placed in a wall crypt.  The family would
like to see the word "interred" in place of "buried" used
in this report.  Is this possible?  Must I make her  death
and burial events in order to do this?  --  Alice
