I am Catholic and plan on being cremated. My question is can I be buried in the same plot with my wife who is not being cremated. One hole 2 people to simply put it. Thanks

Possibly, but you’d have to ask the cemetery in which you plan to be buried.I am Catholic and plan on being cremated. My question is can I be buried in the same plot with my wife who is not being cremated. One hole 2 people to simply put it. Thanks

I rather doubt it. You could be side by side, but cemeteries tend to have a different cost associated with casket sized places vs. urn sized places. Our Catholic cemetery has a separate section for cremains. You’ll just have to ask, as these things vary from place to place.
My late husband is in a cremains section.
My brother-in-law is in a structure for many urns, which is long and shallow. My sister plans to have her urn placed there in the same “drawer” so to speak.
Our parish has a close relationship with a nearby Mortuary that handles such things, and they advise our parishioners when making plans. Perhaps your pastor could recommend a similar place?
Good luck.

As indicated, this is ultimately up to the cemetery. I recently assisted at a burial that was just like this, and it was fine with the cemetery – 'cause they charged for two graves, even though there was only one actual opening.I am Catholic and plan on being cremated.

I just found out that my church has a chunk of cemetery plots for those who cannot afford their own. I wonder if that would make a difference for this question.
It must be the decision of the cemetery, as stated, though.

Of course it would depend on the rules where you are buried.
But it can be done.
My own parents are buried this way.
Mom was cremated. Dad wasn’t. Mom is buried in Dad’s coffin.

Did her death pre-date him?Of course it would depend on the rules where you are buried.

Was she placed there at the time of his interment?
Interesting.
My condolences on your loss, btw.

Yes, she did. Six months earlier. Otherwise we would have had to pay to have his grave opened. And she would have placed on top of him.Did her death pre-date him?

And yes, she was placed at the time of his interment. ( And yes, everyone knew about it.)
Thank you, it was a hard year.
