Follow-up-
Just to update the list, I was able to accomplish my task with the use of a
third party software.
It was an investment of $10 that allowed me to create a tombstone event for
each person buried in a particular cemetery.
I had to go thru a few simple steps each time for each of the 18 cemeteries,
but in a matter of hours, I was able to have created a tombstone event for 17,
591 persons!
Thanks to all who offered their ideas on solutions.

That clipboard is great, I agree. However, it is inoperable if you are
using the *Free* Legacy version. One of the several reasons I happily switched
to the Deluxe paid version a couple weeks ago!

I agree with Jenny. The Event Clipboard is a great tool. It even
copies the Source Citation with one click. That's how I would
proceed.
