I have a Custom Source that I created as a catch-all for this type of
document. I set the Abbreviation to: "Funeral Notice/Card/Announcement".
I set the Title to: " Funeral Notice" and myself as the Repository. Then
when I attach the Source as a Citation, I enter the particulars of the
notice/card/etc. in the Citation Detail field. The Full Footnote Template
that I use is: [TITLE]<, [CD]>, [REPOSITORY]. The Repository is dropped
for the Short Footnote Template, and the Citation Detail is dropped for the
Bibliography.

Hope this helps -
