My uncle died in Virginia and was buried in Niagara Falls, NY. So I identified his place of death as Va, then went to his name in FTM, clicked on the "Notes" icon, and then the "Add Fact" button and selected burial. I then was able to add the burial place. If your program doesn't allow this, just add the burial place in the Notes section. I would always identify the death place as the place of death, even if that wasn't the home of the person at the time of death.
