In reply to the discussion: Plan falls through to bury Tamerlan Tsarnaev at a state prison [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)57. All the religious customs are being disregarded, but look at the situation. Otherwise:
Both Jews and Muslims trace their ancestry to the patriarch Abraham. Its interesting to note that Muslim burial traditions are very similar to Jewish traditions. Muslims also bury within 24 hours,avoid embalming,dress the deceased in white clothing,and bury them in contact with the earth,often in burial shrouds,with no casket.

By those customs, a soul will not be released until the body has gone 'back to dust.'
There was a thread with a link to a story of a man in CT who has made requests to have him put in his private family plot as the 'right thing to do.'
IDK why they are still chasing a place down, perhaps the cemetary refused, although the man insisted it was his right to do it.
So it continues.

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....
