Catholic AnswerTo bury the faithful in. It is not normally permitted to bury human remains inside a Church, outside of special circumstances and the Church requires that all graves be blessed. Most Catholic Churches have their own cemetery, if there is enough land available next to the Church, this is the most convenient place.
