Do you mean transfer your files or transfer the program? If the former this has

Perhaps you have already investigated this, but is there any chance
that the burial record in India accidently omitted the comma between

As you have found out, it is not possible.
Most of us create a Tombstone Event and attach the picture to that so it will
