I'm a evengelic myself and as far as I know the Protestant Church offers anybody a grave, regardless the death circumstances and wealth.

Even more interesting...does this mean that Sherlock was a church member? Not sure how it is in England, but here you can only be buried on the cemestry of your own confession. If you are not a church member, you normally end up at a state cemestry. (Though I guess Mycroft would have swayed whatever he liked....)

Concerning the catholic church: It's nowadays not really a problem anymore if you died of suicide (at least not over here). It's still considered a sin, especially by the catholic church, but for the pieve of mind of the grieving family, they will do it (and even in the past they often simply pretended not to know the real reason for the death, even if it was obvious).

Doubt it.  Maybe someone in his family at one time was part of the church and he still had "rights", as they say.  I'm not and never have been a member of a small Baptist church in KY, but all of my gradma's family is buried there, so my children and I could also be buried there if we so desired (which, for the record, I don't...I'm going to be cremated without any sort of funeral or headstone).
