Burial of a Cohen in the Israelite Section

If a Cohen has passed away and there is no place of honor for him in the Cohen's section, is it possible to bury him in the Israelite section?

It is possible and there is no prohibition against it, but his sons, who are Cohens, will not be able to bury him, nor visit his grave on the anniversary of his death (Yahrzeit).
