Offences Relating to Religion
With intent (or knowledge of likelihood) to wound feelings or insult religion, trespassing in a place of worship or burial/funeral-related site, offering indignity to a corpse, or disturbing a funeral assembly, is punished with up to 1 year's imprisonment, fine, or both.
This protects burial grounds, funeral rites, and human remains from disrespectful trespass or disturbance.
Trespassing on a burial ground specifically to insult religious sentiment, or disturbing a funeral ceremony in progress, is punishable under this section.
