Tamerlan Tsarnaev Body: Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Rejected by Cemeteries & Still Has No Burial Site [VIDEO]
The family of the deceased Boston Marathon bomber reportedly can't find a place for his burial.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's uncle came to Worcester, Mass. to "prepare the body" to be buried, according to NBC News.
Ruslan Tsarnim, who resides in Mongomery Village, Md., traveled 40 miles west of Boston with three other non-family members and met with Peter Stefan, the director at Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors. He spoke about his late nephew and said the following:
"He lived in America, he grew up here. Any contemplations that his body should be taken to his home country, they cannot believe. His home country was indeed Cambridge, Massachusetts."
The men who accompanied Tsarni were allegedly looking to conduct "religious washings" to adhere with Muslim burial rites on the 26-year-old's body. Stefan stated that he and the Tsarnaev's family have been unsuccessful in their attempts to locate a Massachusetts cemetery willing to accept the bomber's body.
Despite having "no offers" to a final resting place for Tsarnaev's body, the funeral director said he anticipates that the suspect will end up being buried somewhere in the state of Massachusetts.
"We have to bury this guy. Whatever it is, whoever he is, in this country, we bury people. I don't care who it is. That's what I do," Stefan told reporters.
A small number of protestors were at the funeral home over the weekend to oppose the move. As they chanted "USA!" one of the signs read "Do not bury him on U.S. soil."
Tsarnaev's younger brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is currently in a prison hospital awaiting trial on federal terrorism charges where he could very well face the death penalty.
