Detailed explanation-1: -Why didn’t Ophelia get a traditional funeral with ALL of the funeral rites? She may not have been a virgin. Claudius wouldn’t allow it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius’ command at inquest, he argues, should grant her all the rites of a Christian burial. The priest refuses, saying that, because she committed suicide, he must deny Ophelia the requiem mass and other trappings of a Christian burial, even though Ophelia will be buried on sacred ground.
Detailed explanation-3: -They argue whether Ophelia should be buried in the churchyard since her death looks like a suicide. According to religious doctrine, suicides may not receive Christian burial.

Detailed explanation-5: -The grave digger is mad that Ophelia is getting a traditional Christian burial, since she allegedly committed suicide. She is getting a Christian Burial because King Claudius ordered for that to occur for her.
