My mother’s parents were Catholic, though my grandfather died when my mother was an infant. Eventually, my grandmother remarried, but she never wanted anyone to know that she was remarried, because she thought it was a sin to remarry (the second marriage was during the Depression, and I suspect it was a marriage of convenience rather than romance). Out of curiosity, is there any stigma attached to a widow or widower remarrying in the Catholic church?
Nope, none at all.

No.
