Usually, no. But, I believe that non-Catholic spouses of Catholics may be buried in Catholic cemeteries. For example, the protestant spouse of a Catholic may be buried in the Catholic cemetery. I don't know of any other instances in which this would be allowable, but it may depend on local rules.

Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowledge this is up to the Ordinary (usually the Bishop of the diocese). For instance, there usually would be no problem with the non-Catholic spouse of a Catholic being buried in the cemetery, but it would be up to the Bishop.

No. Since they are not Catholic they probably wouldn't want a mass. A nondenominational service should be conducted.

Can a orthodox Jew go to a catholic cemetery?

Logically, they can be buried anywhere.Religiously, it depends on what the church decides..Answer from a CatholicTo the best of my knowledge, there is nothing that would forbid a non-Catholic spouse of a Catholic from being buried in the same Catholic cemetery. I believe this would be totally at the pastor's discretion, but there should be no reason that it would be forbidden. But, this is just my opinion, you would need to check with your pastor, or your church office.
