Is she to be buried in Christian burial when she wilfully seeks her own salvation?

Second Clown

I tell thee she is; therefore make her grave straight.
The crowner hath sate on her, and finds it Christian burial.

Will you ha' the truth an't? If this had not been a
gentlewoman, she should have been buried out o' Christian burial.

Hamlet
[V, 1]

Priest

Her obsequies have been as far enlarg'd
As we have warranty. Her death was doubtful;
And, but that great command o'ersways the order,
She should in ground unsanctified have lodg'd
Till the last trumpet. For charitable prayers,
Shards, flints, and pebbles should be thrown on her.
Yet here she is allow'd her virgin rites,
Her maiden strewments, and the bringing home
Of bell and burial.
