There is no productive or good reason to picket or protest a funeral home. It sounds like something the Phelps/Westboro Baptist Church would do. You stare at the abyss and it stares back.

If, as MADem said, burial at sea is acceptable in certain circumstances where a grave may be vandalized, and in order to avoid an international incident, burial at sea might be the best option...and don't tell anyone where at sea either. Don't want those who think of what he did as martyrdom to have access to a burial site or other location either. Either way, it will have to be kept from the public to avoid both the vandalism and the supporters/pro-terrorist groups from turning it into a circus.
