New Person Page error?

How do I change an error on the the New Person Page? In "The Life Summary of ..." section, it auto-populates a summary of information on the named person but the place of burial is incorrect. In fact, there's nowhere in my tree or sources that even shows the place it has listed as the place of burial. I have no idea where this location came from! It is several states away from sourced material that names the place of burial. On the Old (or regular) Person Page, everything is listed correctly.

    Most likely, the burial place has been associated with an incorrect location in the places database. (In FS parlance, it has been incorrectly standardized.)

    Check the Time Line and map (on either the old or new layout): where does it put the pin for the burial? If it's several states away from the correct place, then it's definitely a standardization error.

    To fix it, edit the burial location and change the associated standardized location.
