The Church possesses her very own legislation for cemeteries, which is the object of the present contribution. In this work, therefore, after an exposition of the etymology of the word cemetery and several other brief historical sketches regarding the institution of cemeteries, the author lays out the various canonical norms, including the new form of burial, so as to confront the difficulties facing the Church. Reference will also be made, where necessary, to ecclesiastical and civil law. In the end, the author outlines numerous practical aspects concerning the subject, leaving a deeper and more speculative treatment for another time.
