The reason why I recommend *not* to put the cemetery name in the location field is that it messes up sorts in the Master Location List as well as the "Expand/Contraction Location Parts" tool if you have entered it as
Riverview Cemetery, South Bend, St. Joseph, Indiana, United States Some people who want the cemetery in the location field will enter it as Riverview Cemetery-South Bend, St. Joseph, Indiana, United States in order to retain the 4-place settings that are required for the proper sort and Expand/Contract. Geoff uses the Burial Address but I don't find that flexible enough for reports. We realize that the 4-place governmental jurisdictions don't always apply for locations outside of the US. In my file, I have utilized commas to keep the four places so I can do a good sort or use the Expand/Contract.
