Complete the fields as necessary.
The field of Site will auto populate with the site record you were on when you pressed new.
Type in the Area Code and Area Name of the new area.

The tick box labelled Is Crem provided memorial should be ticked for a temporary memorial for the storage of cremated remains, such as a reflection wall where the cremated remains may be stored while the family decides what they want to do with the remains.
The family can visit and pay their respects during this time and by the end of the time period they are held for, the family might inter the cremated remains in a permanent location in the cemetery.
In the Status field, select from the drop-down list.
