I would use ‘Cemetery’. If ‘Cemetery’ is not in the drop-down list just type the word in the Type field, and it will be added to the list.

Thanks, csam. Simple. I didn’t realize I could edit the list.

All drop-down lists can similarly have custom entries. Note that any custom entry will not translate if that is important to you.

There is the [Type Cleanup](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Types_Cleanup_Tool) addon that allows you to edit, rename, or delete no longer used custom types.
