In reply to the discussion: Plan falls through to bury Tamerlan Tsarnaev at a state prison [View all]muriel_volestrangler

The reporter should say they've refused to discuss it. There is better reporting on the NBC blog - at least we know the police chief has been contacting multiple state officials:
He's far angrier that no one in the government has stepped up to the solve the dilemma. He blasted state officials for offering to bury Tsarnaev at a prison site and then reneging without explanation.
His calls to officials at the city, state and federal level have yielded no answers. Earlier this week, both the State Department and the Massachusetts governor said they would not intervene to find a final resting place in the U.S. or abroad.

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.

I like the Bin Laden solution which avoids the potential of a Jihadist shrine (nt)

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