What I do is enter the country, state, etc. down to the cemetery name. Then all other specific information (I.e. plot) I put in the notes. This is typically person specific anyways. Thus it is easy to duplicate the location and just add the additional information in notes.

I do it a little different. I use this order: Town or township, County, State by then the line could be long, so I would put the Cemetery name in the Note column. Of course country after state if it wouldn't be obvious to me or others.
