+Although defined as any disposal of remains since it was introduced in the first version of GEDCOM, this tag is a shortened form of the English word "burial" and has been interpreted to mean "disposal of remains by placing under the ground" by some applications and users.
+In the absence of a clarifying `TYPE` substructure it is likely, but not guaranteed, that a `BURI` structure refers to a burial rather than another form of disposal of remains.
