Expense information? I would not bother. But if I were to enter it, I
would probably put it in the Burial Tag. An alternative might be to create
a Custom Tag for Funeral Expenses using an appropriate Tag Sentence. I
would not use the Custom option unless there were "many" expected
uses (many probably being more than about two or three).

In either case, I'd enter the expenses in the Tag Memo.

Hope this helps -
