Cemetery Record

I have a copy of a cemetery record that is an application for service (EE 5.8) but includes interment location (EE 5.7) and names the purchaser (EE 5.9).

Unlike the example in EE 5.8, this application was made by the next of kin, not the mortuary firm.

I would like to use this application to capture the interment location so I tacked it on at the end of an EE 5.8 citation:

River View Cemetery Association (Portland, Oregon), application for interment of Charles W. Roggy, submitted by Helene Roggy, 19 Oct 1981.  Interment listed as niche 704, corridor 16.

That seems a little stilted and omits the information that Helene purchased the niche.

Is there a better way to do this?

Sorry, typo...

River View Cemetery Association (Portland, Oregon), application for interment of Eugene Charles Roggy, submitted by Helene Roggy, 19 Oct 1981.  Interment listed as niche 704, corridor 16.

Brian,

Two questions:

(1)

Who wrote the notation "niche 704, corridor 16"? Was this part of Helene's application? Was it a notation added to the application by the cemetery association when the application was approved?  (Whatever the answer, it would be best to include all the relevant data in the same "citation sentence" rather than splitting the data for one source into two separate sentences. It's for times like this that semicolons exist.)

(2)

Where did you get the document? Did the cemetery association provide it? Is it a family artifact?  That should be included also.
