Death and Burial

I would like to know how others handle these two facts.

My question concerns the dates you put on these two facts. The death date is obvious, and easily found. However the burial date is not.

To keep the facts chronological in the timeline I have been adding two days to the death and using this as the date of burial. I know this probably will be wrong, but it puts things the proper order. (I find it difficult to go down the facts list and find some one buried before they died.)

How do others handle this?

It would be nice if FTM always put the burial fact after the death fact, so the would appear chronological in the list of facts.
