"Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s family in Russia doesn’t want his body, his widow declined to claim it and now cemeteries in Massachusetts have refused to take the body.
Peter Stefan, owner of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlor, has agreed to handle the funeral arrangements. Stefan said everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of their death..."
Does everybody deserve a decent burial, no matter who they are or what they've done? Personally I wouldn't want this POS buried on American soil. His grave would be an insult to this country and a mecca for anti-US sympathizers. If his parents take the carcass home to Chechnya, it may likely be enshrined there. Better to dump it in the ocean.
My vote would be to feed it to hogs and send whatever comes out 2 days later to the family, in a bacon-infused urn, of course! Maybe the widow can hand carry it to her in-laws and stay there.
I would say yes. Funerals and burials are for the living not the dead. At least some of those left behind weren't involved and have lost someone they loved. I would imagine the loss is even greater due to the circumstances. I cannot imagine one of my kids doing something horrific and dying as a result. There is the loss of the person and the loss of who you thought they were but weren't.
Yes, he is entitled to, not deserves, an appropriate burial consistent with his religion. Which, if I remember correctly, is simple, encased in clean wrappings, without a casket and with no marker.
Well OP, you raise a good question, and I wonder how it applies to present/past notorious criminals. When Charles Manson dies, what happens to his body? If it were buried publicly, I'm sure there will be some groupies who would make a shrine out of it. Same thing for Tamerian.
Bury him in an unmarked grave in a pauper's field.
