How do you handle the entry of a death location for someone that was buried
at sea?



I've been getting 3 different answers, each one seems to have its own
merits:

1.       Simply entered as "Buried at sea" (or sometimes more specific as
"Buried in Atlantic Ocean, or Buried in South Pacific Ocean, etc)

2.       Death location is last known port of embarkation

3.       Death location is first known port of entry of the vessel as the
captain must file a death notice with the local officials. Death records are
on file at that location.



Methods 2 and 3 would seem to apply more to passengers while method 1 would
seem to apply more to military personnel. Just wondering how other people
handle this one.
