I think frum burial associations limit their plots to those who are Shomer Shabbos.
Specifically, would they allow a Footsteps member (mockers and knockers of frumkeit) to be buried among frum people, if they have family members there, if they knew that the deceased was a member (Footsteps)?
The Gemara in Sanhedrin says “Ain Kovrin Tzaddik Eitzel Rasha”. I have no idea what is done Lema’aseh.
why would you deprive any Jew of a dignified burial with his/her family?
If the Halacha doesn’t allow it (I said if, I don’t claim to know any Halachos about this) then that would be a good reason why.
Ronsr, all this sentiments about “any Jew” are against Halocha. If a fellow is deemed to be a rasha, he is is not buried next to tzadikkim. It is a de”Oraysa to bury harugei beis din in separate cemeteries, for example.

Are all non-frum ppl considered Rashaim?
ronsr: I think the answer to your question can be found in the statement directly above it.
Gefen: I have no idea. I would assume that a Tinok Shenishba isn’t called a Rasha but I have no real source to say that in this case.
Rav Schachter extrapolates from a Gemara that it’s Assur to bury anyone next to someone even a little more or less righteous than his. He says that’s why each Shul/community has their own cemeteries. We assume that all members of each community for the most part do the same Mitzvos and the same Aveiros, so we bury them together.
Chalilavchas, yes.
Sam2, a real tinok she’nishba is not a rasha. He is like a regular frum Yid as far as ben le’chaveiro goes. Who is a real tinok she’nishba is a machlokes.
Depends if he does aveiros be’mezid. Also, it depends if his relatives were big tzadikim.
