Funeral director: Hard to bury alleged Boston bomber - CNN.com


(CNN) -- There may not be a single cemetery in Massachusetts or in the entire country that is willing to be Tamerlan Tsarnaev's final resting place, a funeral director told CNN on Monday.

And that has left Peter Stefan in a very difficult spot.

"I think (the cemeteries that have been asked) probably fear reprisals from people who have loved ones being buried there, people who may potentially buy lots there," the funeral director said.

What's wrong with feeding some fish?

Or converting him to ashes and sending him to landfill?

I'm not sure why this is an issue?
 
I see you have never heard of respecting the dead.
 
I can understand the issue from both sides. Do they not have public-owned cemeteries in that area?
 
Let's get a victim consensus of what they want to do with the body and go with that.

I didn't read your link, but from what I read earlier, the funeral director was making this his problem. It's not. It's the problem of whoever in the family claimed the body. If it were my business, I'd already be in court seeking relief from the body I accepted -- unless the family agreed to cremation.

Esposito said that although an unmarked grave may not violate Islamic practices, it could certainly run afoul of the courtesy of getting Tsarnaev's parents' permission to conduct their son's burial that way.

Wow, imagine, running afoul of the courtesy of getting Tsarnaev's parents' permission to dispose of their son's remains in whatever the hell way they can get it done.

Why would anyone (read Henrin here) expect people to respect a dead body more than they would respect it if it were alive?

That terrorist being dead doesn't change the fact he is subhuman garbage.
He is dead,I do not think he cares one way or the other what someone does to his body.
 
50k, and I'll take care of that body no problem. Find a nice little spot out in the woods, and even pay for a nice headstone. Maybe i should contact him with my offer?
 
Simple solution, give his ashes to the Porti Potty factory to mix in their next batch of plastic to make the ****ters. Might actually be a selling feature.
 
This silliness is a non-issue. The guy is dead. All this rage about where he can and cannot be buried is not hurting the dead guy. It's hurting the dead guy's family.

Every large city has a "potters' field" where John/Jane Does and unclaimed bodies are buried, in a pine box with a location identification number. Dig the hole, toss him in. The people of Massachusetts have to get over this crap. I guarantee there are the most vicious kinds of rapists, serial killers, mass murderers buried in their state, as there are in every state. One more isn't gonna kill ya', folks. Get over it.
 
Ship the body of this massive pile of excrement to his parents and let them deal with it.

I'm not sure what you mean.

The OP is very disrespectful to the dead.

I personally have a problem with people that show such disregard for the dead. I don't really care what the person did when they were alive everyone should have the decency to leave that behind when the person passes.

That fact that someone is "subhuman garbage" as you put it does not in any mean we should ignore respect and decency when dealing with their bodies. We will all die one day, so lets do ourselves a favor and honor the dead with a bit of human decency, ok?

Why?They are dead.If you didn't respect them in life why should you show them any respect in death?

That man is subhuman scum, he doesn't deserve any honor.Honor is for people who deserve, not terrorists.
 
America is better then this. Shouldn't we be judged by how we treat the worst amongst us. We're acting like 3rd world (read backward ass) countries.

But you wouldn't bury the rapist, serial killer, and mass murderer next to their victims. If you agree to that, then you agree that there are degrees of separation. This just happens to require a much larger degree of separation. Personally, I think they should give the remains to his uncle and tell him in no uncertain terms to bury him elsewhere. Anywhere but here. Take what's left of your terrorist nephew and go.



If that doesn't sit well with anybody... too bad.

We will take him!

Mt. Moriah Cemetery - City of Deadwood  

Are there any famous people buried at Mt. Moriah?
James Butler Hickok (a.k.a. Wild Bill Hickok), Calamity Jane, Potato Creek Johnny, Preacher Henry Weston Smith, Seth Bullock, Blanche Colman (the first woman admitted to the South Dakota bar), journalist Edward L. Senn, Dr. Flora Stanford, Harris Franklin (of Franklin Hotel fame), and Col. John Lawrence (for whom Lawrence County is named) are but a few of the many people at Mt. Moriah whose lives added to the story of Deadwood and the Black Hills.

YES! We will take his grave and charge admittance, as we have don for other villains and heros alike. We will use the revenue to fund a charity for the victims of the bombing, lower local property tax and everything else we see fit.

You're playing devil's advocate here aren't you?

Bury the guy at sea. Feed the fish. We did that with bin Laden right? Did you have a problem with that?

If his family wants him they can pay to come get him. Or they can pay to have him frozen and shipped over to them. Or they can pay to have him taking up real estate somewhere of their choosing.

Apparently they don't really care that much.

So if it's up to the USofA, or Boston as to what to do.... feed fish.

This isn't about "disrespecting the dead" (whatever that means) - this is about not wasting any more time or energy on a murdering terrorist who deserves no respect or any effort.

Dump his body in the ocean and be done with it. No fan-fare. No press. No news coverage.
 
Give him the minimal treatment his religion requires and bury him in an unmarked grave. :shrug:

Why?

If we are to believe what we're told, he abandoned his "religion" when he decided to become a terrorist and set off bombs in civilian settings.
