Does the status of aninut (pre-burial abstinence) apply on a holiday?
Synopsis
Even though full mourning is suspended on holidays, aninut (the immediate state before burial) does apply on Chol Hamoed. However, on Yom Tov proper, aninut applies only in limited circumstances: if one wishes to bury using non-Jewish labor, or if one wishes to bury on the second day of Yom Tov.
