Ophelia is denied complete burial rites of the church in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" because her death is deemed a suicide. In the context of the play, suicide was considered a grave sin, and those who took their own lives were often denied proper Christian burials. The grave diggers' conversation reveals that Ophelia’s death was seen as a result of her madness and tragic circumstances, complicating the church's response to her burial. This reflects the societal attitudes towards mental illness and suicide during the Elizabethan era.

What cause does Polonius give for Hamlets madness?
Polonius is sure that Hamlet has gone mad with love for Ophelia. See these lines by Polonius in Act 2 scene 1: ~Polonius: Come, go with me! I will go seek the King;This is the very ecstasy of love,...Ophelia: ... I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me.Polonius: That hath made him mad;~ So Polonius thinks Hamlet is suffering from the "ecstasy of love" for Ophelia, which has driven him mad.

Queen Elizabeth is credited for facilitating the complete separation from Rome.

What do we gather about the Church's position on suicide from what Friar Lawrence tells Romeo?
When Romeo tries to kill himself in Act III Scene 3, the Friar talks him out of it. But he does not use the Church's position on suicide to do so. And wisely so. Romeo is in a mood to defy damnation, and the friar well knows that the only way to reach Romeo is to appeal to his love for Juliet. Thus he argues that by killing himself Romeo will also kill Juliet, whose life is entwined with his. He argues that Romeo will make himself a perjurer if he kills the one he has sworn to love. These arguments, plus the argument that there is still hope for life together despite the banishment, are what persuades Romeo to abandon the suicide idea. An argument along the lines of "Don't commit suicide or you will go to Hell." would have had no effect. The closest he comes is by describing suicide as "doing damnéd hate".There is good reason for this. Romeo and Juliet is a play, not a catechism class. Shakespeare's audience knew exactly what the church's position on suicide was and is, as do most modern readers. Just in case you don't, suicide is a mortal sin in the Catholic Church, and suicides are denied funerals and burial in consecrated ground. We see the effect of this in another Shakespeare play, Hamlet, where Ophelia's burial is compromised because she is a suspected suicide.
