Yes, they can be both baptised but the religion that baptises the child last is the one that stands. Therefore, there really isn't any point in doing both baptism except to appease the grandparents. Just decide on the religion and baptise.

Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
No they cannot. The Orthodox Chruch and Catholic Church are not in communion with one another and are not able to receive the Eucharist at other churches legitmately. -UPDATE- In the past few years this practice has been changed. Orthodox believers can now receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church and Roman Catholics can now receive communion in an Orthodox Church, however either should only be done in a time of necessity. Great strides are being made in bringing the two churches back together again as it was in the beginning. Catholics will give communion to an Orthodox but an Orthodox is not supposed to take communion anywhere but in the Orthodox Church. I have yet to see communion given to a Catholic in an Orthodox church. If you are not baptised Orthodox you are not given the Holy Mystery in the Orthodox Church. In my church, the Priest will not give communion to anyone unless they have had confession, and will certainly not give communion to ANYONE, not even a Catholic, if they are not Orthodox. It is not allowed.
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.

Can a non-Catholic Christian be a Godparent?
No. Your sponsorship is your endorsement of the ceremony. Since Catholics believe that the fullness of the truth is in the teachings of the Catholic Church, sponsoring a non-Catholic baptism would mean you are allowing a loved one to be raised without the fullness of the truth. Therefore, all Catholics shouldn't be a sponsor at a non-Catholic baptism. The proper thing for a Catholic to do is to express that you are happy they are entering into the Christian faith but remark that the Catholic Church is the only Christian church founded by Jesus and therefore, they remain a separated brother or sister from the church unless they become Catholic. Remember, the key is to love them with a Christ-like love. That means being honest and telling them the truth. Not to give a watered down consent for a ceremony that will not bring them into full union with Christ's Church.
