Another idea would be to have one burial tag, but for those buried in the same town, etc., customize the
tag sentence to "parse" the tag to include the information you want.

[P] was buried <[D]> <[L]>

Change [L] to be [L1] for that person's tag.

[P] was buried <[D]> <[L1]>

This is assuming, of course that your "addressee" is the name of the cemetery. If not, it would be [L2] or
whatever.

I have [L2} for specific directions to a cemetery, and when a whole family is buried there, I don't like
having the information in every person's information on a page, say in a journal report. So, for those
people, I would use <[L1]>.

Elizabeth, I have never used place styles but I can accomplish what you
want without them.

In the first case the Location for Death would be City = Dover and State
= Ohio. For Burial Detail = Mt. Calvary Cemetery, City = -Dover and
State = -Ohio.

In the Second Death Location City = Youngstown and State = Ohio. The
Burial would be Detail = Mt. Calvary Cemetery, City = Dover and State =
Ohio.

However I do not agree with omitting the City in the Cemetery location
as someone reading your report may no know that Mt. Calvary Cemetery is
in Dover unless he was familiar with the area.

You can search on any field "contains" and you will get all the
occurrences.
