"General Principles. Persons who die without baptism are not to be admitted to ecclesiastical burial (c. 1239, § 1). Catechumens who through no fault of their own die without baptism are to be considered (in this connection) as baptized (c. 1239, § 2). All baptized persons are to receive ecclesiastical burial unless they are expressly excluded from it by law (c. 1239, § 3)." - CANON LAW, A Text and Commentary, by Fathers T.
