ICAO code KBUR. Officially Bob Hope Airport since 2003, honoring the entertainer, though it has marketed itself as Hollywood Burbank since 2017. It opened in 1930 as United Airport, and Lockheed built aircraft beside it for decades. Passengers often still board by stairs from the ramp.
2. Buried (bur.)
Writing & Everyday · Genealogy Abbreviations
Gives the date or place of burial in genealogies, cemetery records and family histories, as in "bur. Oak Hill Cemetery." Burial dates often survive when death dates do not.
Example: d. 3 March 1856; bur. 6 March 1856, St. Mary's churchyard, Hertford.
English parish burial registers, required from 1538, usually record burial rather than death, so genealogists use burial dates to estimate when someone died. Variants include bd. and int. (interred). Online memorial sites such as Find a Grave index burial locations and photograph headstones.
