Ancient tradition encourages Christians to be buried in cemeteries dedicated to the baptized. This custom honors the bodies of the dead destined for resurrection. It expresses our common faith in Christ. It also expresses our solidarity with our fellow Christians, with whom we hope to share eternal life.
The Church who, as Mother, has borne the Christian sacramentally in her womb during his earthly pilgrimage, accompanies him at his journey’s end, in order to surrender him “into the Father’s hands.” She offers to the Father, in Christ, the child of his grace, and she commits to the earth, in hope, the seed of the body that will rise in glory.
—Catechism of the Catholic Church §1683
