I've had to create numerous "Alt. Burials" that I renamed "Reinterments" for people who were reinterred either within the same cemetery or another. Some were reinterred 3-4 times sometimes many years later. Without this information you would never be able to find the current gravesite. I guess in this case putting in the notes section where you click on the + sign would not be a good idea.
There are also other burials that took place 3-4 months after death because they were done at Arlington National Cemetery and the waiting period is three or more months there. I get that error message all the time for those.
