The bombimg suspect who died of gun wounds is yet to find a place of rest.
According to usatoday said funeral director Peter Stefan said he hasn't been able to find a cementary in Massachusetts willing to take the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body for burial.He however said he plans to ask for a burial plot from the city of Cmbrigde and if he is turned down he will processed further to state officials.
Tsarni, of Maryland, said he understands that "no one wants to associate their names with such evil events."
Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy said in a statement Sunday there has been no formal application for a burial permit or purchase of a cemetery plot. He said he is urging Tsarnaev's family and Stefan not to request a burial permit for the city-owned Cambridge Cemetery.
Healy said the city "would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and widespread media presence at such an interment." He said the families who have loved ones interred at the cemetery also deserve to have their deceased family members rest in peace.
Healey said other federal agencies should take the lead in the burial.
Stefan did not immediately return a call Sunday night seeking comment on Healy's statement.
Tsarni told reporters that he is arranging for Tsarnaev's burial because religion and tradition call for his nephew to be buried. He would like him buried in Massachusetts because he's lived in the state for the last decade, the uncle said.
"I'm dealing with logistics. A dead person must be buried," he said.
He said he was grateful to Stefan for agreeing to arrange the burial and to his friends for accompanying him to Massachusetts to aid with the funeral.
"These are my friends who feel for me," he said.
