If you know an exact death date, then why would you be less precise about
the earliest possible date on which he could have been buried? _That_ is
the only time when sorting becomes debatable. That is my point.

(Setting aside the joke that he was buried on 8 Sep 1942 and died very
shortly thereafter <g>).
