I've always been confused in dealing with death related events...... In church records, you will typical find death record that contain a death date, death location, interment date, reported death age (which sometimes is wrong), witnesses, celebrant (priest).

In an obituary, you will typical find also a death date, death location, funeral ceremony date, funeral ceremony location, burial location, no burial date, reported death age, funeral home, funeral home location.

Being new to TMG, I want to learn how to deal with this properly.

I haven't created any new TAGs yet, but I am wondering why there isn't a funeral TAG to begin with.

So far, here is how I understand it should (or could) be recorded in TMG :

Event --> TMG Tag
-----------------------------
Death date --> Death tag
Death location --> Death tag
Interment date --> Burial tag
Age reported --> Age tag (???). I would like to especially record this especially if it's wrong. It help to disprove or understand conclusions made by others or myself.
Funeral ceremony date --> ?????
Funeral ceremony location --> ?????
Burial location --> Burial tag
Funeral home --> ?????
Funeral home location --> ?????
Witnesses --> ????
Celebrant (priest) --> ????

A big thank you,
