Best Answer

There are no universal rules about burial for suicides.

> In old Christian tradition, suicide was viewed as an unforgivable sin, so suicides could not be buried in "sacred ground," which applied to any cemetery associated with or blessed by the Church, usually the "church yard." In some places, suicides were buried at crossroads, where it was believed they would never find rest.

> With new developments in the last century in both psychology and in the biochemistry of the brain, suicide has been recognized as a result of severe illness. Consequently, very few religious traditions continue to enforce punitive rules on burial for suicides.
