Yes. This is from Rite 1 Burial of the Dead in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (the current version):
The Consecration of a Grave
If the grave is in a place that has not previously been set apart for Christian burial,
the Priest may use the following prayer, either before the service of Committal or at
some other convenient time
O God, whose blessed Son was laid in a sepulcher in the
garden: Bless, we pray, this grave, and grant that he whose
body is (is to be) buried here may dwell with Christ in
paradise, and may come to thy heavenly kingdom; through
thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

So i went to get my temple recommend today. and he asked me a couple questions. As he went over them i started to realize that i dont believe in most of the things he said.
Im the laurels president so i need to go to the temple….
i said yes or no at the right times to all of them except for paying tithing because in my opinion… paying tithing isnt something that i agree withn ( i feel that all the money just goes to making more temples) (i live in utah)
The questions i lied about
Do you have a testimony of the Atonement of Christ and of His role as Savior and Redeemer?
Do you sustain the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator and as the only person on the earth who possesses and is authorized to exercise all priesthood keys? Do you sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators? Do you sustain the other General Authorities and local authorities of the Church?
Are you a full-tithe payer? (i almost didnt get in for that question) ( only because i have no money or dont earn money at all)
Have there been any sins or misdeeds in your life that should have been resolved with priesthood authorities but have not been?
Do you have a testimony of the restoration of the gospel in these the latter days?
Do you have faith in and a testimony of God the Eternal Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost?
Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
So am i going to… mormon hell for this?
is this something terrible?
