No, at the time of the burial both halves are gone, therefore not available for later rescue.  Actually thats how you can bury half of the rescue, because both the "saved" and the unsaved are discarded.

It's because of the difference between 'discard' and 'rescue'. A discarded card is only discarded by going to the discard pile. You can't discard half of a card, because if the card hasn't reached the discard pile, it hasn't been discarded.

However, rescuing is different. To rescue a LS in almost all cases is to place it in a Land of Redemption, with the one exception of this card, which specifically states that it must be rescued twice.

So Burial discards the whole card, whether or not a rescue has already been made on half of it. Son of God rescues half of the card, because it only rescues once on a card that must be rescued twice.

Make sense?
