Although Legacy allows you to change the Burial Event to a Cremation, this gets changed back to a Burial Event in a non-Legacy GEDCOM export. Using a separate cremation event overcomes this potential problem.
I prefer to leave the Burial event blank and add a Cremation Event to ensure Gedcom compatibility. I use the Burial event only when I know there has been a genuine Burial.

But there is no need for another event; you can do all that if you have the cemetery as the location for the Burial Event. CE _____ From: mich...@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Burial Location as a Cemetery Event Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:53:49 -0500 I don’t put cemetery names in the burial field. I use a separate Cemetery event. Why? Because I can use the notes area of the event to put the transcription of the marker and any other notes such as “grave is unmarked” or the section and plot number or even information about who all is buried in the same plot. I also attach a photo of the marker.

However, shouldn't this concept also be extended to other 'events' as well. In Australia, we only use a 3-place addressing system, so its really easy to slip in a patten of using a church or graveyard etc in that top level. Coming from a Christian background, I have lots of marriages and christenings and other events that take place in Churches, which would have a similar issue. So, would you advocate using a real event for each of these.

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.
