Larry, Yes, Births, Marriages, Deaths, may be regarded as Vital Events and Burial is yet another (not really vital though).
The "+" Burial Address is part of the Burial Event which you can use should you so wish, but so is the Location Field, which can be used to complement the Address, as Sherry suggested, or to hold the full location/address. The choice is yours. BTW. without wishing to get back into a discussion on locations, I have no problem with the USA 4 field convention of City, County, State, Country, when used for American locations, but it simply does not work for the UK and many/(most) other parts of the world. But, even in America, this doesn't stop one having more than 4 fields, just that the last 4 should follow the convention, together with the awful double commas for missing bits!

On "Family" view, one of the lines I display is Buried where I put the date and the controversial four USA locations (City, County, State, Country). Then I click the "+", select Burial Address, and enter all of the information I have on the cemetery. Is this the "Burial Event"? I think where I get confused is the difference between Address fields and Location fields.
