Cemeteries Keeps Rejecting Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Body, Boston Bombing Suspect

Four cemeteries in three states have refused to bury the body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber  Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the funeral director tasked with finding a resting place has told the Daily News

A Cambridge city official says it would be in the interest of peace within the city" to execute a cementery deed for a plot at Cambridge Cemetery for the body of Boston Marathon Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The Boston Globe reports Sunday night that Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy says in a statement that the city would be "adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests and widespread media presence at such an interment." Healy says the families who have loved ones interred there also deserve to have their deceased family members rest in peace.

Funeral director Peter Stefan has asked cemeteries in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, but each of the cemeteries have passed on burying the older Tsarnaev brother, who was killed in a crossfire with the police.

Stefan says that if no cemeteries consent to granting permission, then he would have to solicit the assistance  of the federal Government to allocate a space at Massachusett were his family members are resident for Tsarnaev's burial rites. His family has requested a full Muslim burial rites for their son.

Several hostile protesters showed up at the Dyer-Lake funeral home in Worcester, holding signs and American flags and chanting "USA!". They are demanding that Tsarnaev, an immigrant, not be buried on American soil. However, Stefan says that his decision is strictly apolitical. 

"We take an oath to do this. Can I pick and choose? No. Can I separate the sins from the sinners? No," Stefan told the Associated Press. "We are burying a dead body. That's what we do."

The burial, if a place can be located, will happen after a second "independent" autopsy, which was suggested by his family members. Stefen has identified the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the body and head, and blunt force trauma to his head, which may have occurred when his younger brother Dzhokhar, reportedly ran him over during the fatal battle with the police
