    Funeral and or Burial

    Still learning Reunion. Just attended a funeral this week and thought I'd update Reunion while I had info handy instead of putting it off.
    In the Events for the person I see Birth, Death and Burial. I went to look at the full list and did not see "Funeral" listed. In this case the funeral was at Grace United Methodist Church but the burial was at Forrest Hill Cemetery, two different addresses.

    I will assume Burial is then just the cemetery location.
    What do I do with the Funeral info? Create a new event "Funeral" and then use that to add the event?

    I thought it odd that funeral was not a predefined event. In the geneology world, is this a minor fact that is not typically recorded or just left up to the individual's preference?
    I searched ReunionTalk and the entire archive for "funeral" and got nothing.

    I thought others might like to know what church the funeral was at and possibly the priest or minister officiating.

    Thanks

    That is exactly what I did; create a new event for funeral. Then I add the regular city-county-state as location and in the memo area I note the church, officiant, and funeral home or undertaker that made the arrangements. I figure this is all important information for locating additional records if I ever want to go deeper.
