CAN A PERSON OF ANOTHER FAITH BE BURIED IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH?
The answer boils down to whether the person has been baptized. The funeral rites of the Church are intended for those who have been baptized or who are catechumens (those who have publicly expressed their desire to be baptized)
Children who have died before baptism may also be buried with funeral rites. Baptism incorporates a person into the Communion of the Church. A person's desire for baptism, whether through parents for an infant or through an adult intention as a catechumen, permits the church to extend her embrace at the time of death, even for those who die before baptism. The funeral rites of the church honor and celebrate the Communion of Saints, which exists beyond the limits of our mortal life. (Though separated from the living, the dead are still at one with the community of believers on earth.) (General Introduction to the Order of Christian Funerals, #6) A baptized member of another Christian community or church may be buried with Catholic funeral rites at the discretion of the local Ordinary (see #18) The Church has no provisions for celebrating Catholic funeral rites for a person who has not been baptized or did not express a desire for baptism before death. And, so yes, a person who has been baptized in another Christian faith may be buried in and from a Catholic church. PEACE, Deacon Bob Raleigh
