In reply to the discussion: Plan falls through to bury Tamerlan Tsarnaev at a state prison [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(106,281 posts)19. WHY did it 'fall apart'? Talk about crappy reporting
It sounds like a good plan to me. What happens when a murderer dies in prison? Is it that there no MA prison with a burial site? Are they all full, and no prison buries them any more? Why doesn't the Globe tell us? Or the police chief? Did no reporter at the press conference think to ask why? Or did the Globe just not bother writing the answer down?

So is a delayed burial. Whenever possible, burial should take place within a day.

You also cannot bury if there is danger the corpse will be dug up and mocked or abused.

They don't want him. I think they aren't looking for a shrine to be built in Dagestan.

All this glee over a dead body is mighty unseemly and nothing to be proud of....

All the religious customs are being disregarded, but look at the situation. Otherwise:
