Fr. Joe Answers:
Can a Protestant spouse be buried with their Catholic spouse in a Catholic cemetery?
Fr. Joe Answers:
I’ve found nothing in the Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church indicating that Protestant spouses cannot be buried with their Catholic spouse in a Catholic cemetery. The only hitch would be if burial in a Catholic cemetery would have been contrary to the wishes of the spouse who has died. A Catholic priest or cemetery would want to respect his or her wishes regarding their own funeral and burial.
