For some of the information on New FamilySearch, an extra line comes up for the description. I think that this would be ideal for burials in New FamilySearch. The extra line would be the name of the cemetery. This "extra line" is available for military records and occupations. PAF guidelines recommended that the name of the cemetery be in the notes and not in the place fields. I usually put the name in the comments section for the source of burial. Then I can add the particulars for the burial (ie., grave plot and section) or mention other facts such as who else is buried nearby. Karen is right, though, the name of the cemetery next to the city helps it all sort properly. It can be tricky to keep everything straight if the system doesn't approve of that format.

Why would the system already approved for Utah cemeteries but not out of state? This was pointed out and the submitters won the battle, now we can force the name of cemetery in the burial line before the city to make it right. David Samuelsen Mary S.

That would be good if there was a consistent standard for burial information on New FamilySearch. What I wonder about is whether the cemetery names would need some guidelines. One submitter could say the cemetery was Saint John's Cemetery and another one St. John's Cemetery. Would these be treated as separate listings? It would be nice if the cemetery came up like the regular places. (I have no one buried in Utah and haven't noticed this feature for my husband's family).
