If you click on the down arrow located to the right of the burial location field which is where I think you are saying you have it, then a window opens up. On the right-hand side of the window is a list of everyone who uses that location. Tag them with a unique tag number so that you can go back and place the cemetery name in the burial address field.
While the window is still open, combine the burial location field which contains the cemetery name with the town, county, country data you want. This will change everyone's burial location field in one action. Now take a look at your tagged list and link them to the cemetery name and address. If you haven't added the cemetery name and address to the list, add them once in the burial address fields. Once the cemetery name and address are in the burial address list, you only need to link to it each time you review a person from your tagged list.

There was some discussion last year about the pros and cons of each approach. If one decides to take the cemetery name out of the burial location field and put it in either the burial address field or into a cemetery event, what’s the most efficient way to do so? The best I can think of is to search for all the persons who have the cemetery name in the burial field, then paste in a cemetery event. To change the burial address, one would have to tag the correct burial address, choose to view only tagged fields in the address list, then click on burial address, the correct address, select and save, repeating for every person in the list. One can use search and replace to take the cemetery name out of the burial location field, but getting it in someplace else is tedious. Is there a more efficient way to do this process?
