Peter Stefan, owner of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester (WUS’-tur) confirmed Friday he is handling funeral arrangements for Tamerlan Tsarnaev (TAM’-ehr-lun tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) but he could not confirm whether he has possession of the body.
Stefan says everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of their death and he is prepared for protests. He says arrangements have yet to be worked out.
Several protesters showed up outside a North Attleborough funeral home Thursday night where Tsarnaev’s body was taken following its release by the state medical examiner.
Timothy Nay of the Dyer-Lake Funeral Home says he is no longer in possession of the body.
For protesters to show up at a funeral home is wrong. Every human being deserves a burial, no matter how heinous their crime.
“Worcester (WUS’-tur)”
LOL… unless you live there, in which case it’s Wis-ta, or, WISta-mass.
The terrorists responsible for the horrible attacks in Mumbai were denied Muslim burials — by the local Muslim community.
There is no need to make this information public.
Only in America do terrorists receive a proper burial. Why not drop him into the ocean like they did to Osama?!
This guy was never found guilty of anything. We assume he was the terrorist and there is quite a bit of evidence confirming his guilt but he deserves to be buried in peace.
