Christian burial
Sacred grave ceremony
Christian burial is interment of the dead according to Christian religious rites, typically including prayers, scripture readings, and committal of the body to the earth.
The phrase often appears in contexts where such burial is denied or questioned—historically, suicides, unbaptized infants, and excommunicated persons might be refused Christian burial.
