A Jewish man married to a non-Jewish woman dies. He is buried in either a non-Jewish cemetery or in a section designated for Jews. Can siblings go to the cemetery for the burial or a visit?

Welcome to MiYodeya and thanks for this first question. Can I recommend you take the tour to get a sense of how the site works? Great to have you learn with us!– mblochCommented Dec 1, 2019 at 10:34

2There is some lack of clarity in your question. Did you mean "he is buried in a non-Jewish cemetery, either in a section designated for Jews or one for non-Jews"? If not what are the two options you are asking about?– mblochCommented Dec 1, 2019 at 10:42

There is no problem to go to non-Jewish cemeteries, and it is even encouraged on fast days (as a reminder of our mortality) if there is no nearby Jewish cemetery. Per this answer, prayers should not be said if there are prominent non-Jewish religious symbols around the grave.
