I just remarried outside of the Catholic Church and I didnt receive an annulment from my first husband. Can I be buried with my parents in a Catholic Cemetery — and what about my new husband?
Yes. The Catholic Church realizes all of the changes happening in the world today. Just because you are divorced would not preclude you from being buried in a Catholic cemetery. Your spouse may also be buried in a family lot for the same reason. Our family purchased a 12 grave lot for $1200.00 back in the 70s. There are 4 people buried in this lot. Lots in the cemetery are now selling for $400.00 per grave space. Can I sell the other 6 grave spaces to my friends for this price? The answer to this questions is NO you cannot sell these grave spaces due to the fact that the family doesnt own the land, only Burial Rights to this lot. You can, if you choose, sign over burial rights to these spaces to your family or friends with the approval of the cemetery office.
