I don't think you can make one report like you want. You can make a
list of burial details with the detail, Person Name and ID. I can't see
how you can add the birth and death dates.

To make this you have to have the Cemetery Name, Row and Lot # in the
burial detail: Cambridge Cemetery, Loanka Path, Lot 237. If the
entries are consistant you can sort on the detail.

The list of people looks at the person data file which does not contain
the burial detail.

Contrary to what Robin Lamacraft says:

number would be expected to be entered). >

I feel that the row and plot number are part of the location and not
part of the citation. The rows are often marked and also the plot #s.
