The body of Orlando mass murderer Omar Mateen was quietly buried at a Muslim cemetery in south Florida, where one official said everyone is entitled to a resting place. Orlando Police identified the suspect in the Pulse Nightclub shootings as Omar Mateen, 29, a U.S. citizen born in New York. via Orlando Police

Mateen's father had told reporters his son was buried in accordance with Islamic tradition but would not say where. The death certificate filed late Wednesday revealed he was interred about three hours from Orlando.

The person listed as the director of the cemetery did not return calls for comment, and the man identified as the funeral director hung up on a reporter.

Another cemetery official said he was unaware of Mateen's burial. He called Mateen "a bad guy" but defended the decision to accept his remains, saying, "Everybody deserves a place and we don't know his side of the story so he is entitled to be buried like anyone else,"

The official said he did not expect the cemetery would face any problems because it took Mateen's body. Asked what would happen if the family of anyone else buried there objected, the official said, "Too late."

Don’t know about Mateen but Boston Bomber, Tamerlan, was finally buried at muslim Al-Barzakh Cemetery in Doswell, VA.

Speaking of the Boston bombing, I ran across this Orlando, FL connection in my notes:

“May 21, 2013 – U.S. Rep. William Keating says Russia informed the FBI at some point about Ibragim A. Todashev. At 7:30 pm 6022 Peregrine Avenue, Windhover Condominiums on Kirkman Road near Conroy Road, Orlando, FL directly across the street from Univeral Studios. FBI interviewed Ibragim/Ibrahim A. Todashev (b. Sept. 22, 1985, 27, Chechen born, connections with radical Chechen rebels, US citizenship, previously of the Chechnyan community in Boston and drove a Mercedes) and Khusn Taramov (22, from Chechnya and previously of Boston, he and Todashev knew each other in Checnya and came to US together) at an Orlando, FL apartment for 3 hours. Taramov left after an agent said they’d need Todashev a couple more hours. He told Taramov he was worried he was getting set up and would be killed so gave him his parent’s phone number in case he got arrested. He is not suspected in the Boston bombing but did confess to the slaying of Mess et al in Boston two years ago. When he was about to sign a confession, he became violent and pulled a knife at which time an agent, Aaron McFarlane, 41 (medical retired from Oakland PD 2004 & has questionable past planting evidence & falsifying police reports), shot him 18 times and killed him early May, 22, 2013. The agent has non-life threatening injuries. Todashev, an MMA fighter, met Tamerlan several times in Boston while competing in mixed martial arts. Todashev had a plane ticket for May 21 to NY to Chechnya to spend a month with family that was bought before the bombings and the FBI wanted to question him before he left and was pressuring him not to leave so he cancelled the ticket. May 4, 2013, Todashev was arrested on aggravated assault charges after getting into a fight with a man at the Orlando Premuium Outlet mall over a parking space and released on May 5, 2013 on a $3,500 surety bond.
FBI agents came to the apartment complex and started questioning a few people of Chechnyan descent. “One day they started questioning us, next day after the bombing, not the bombing , after they found out the bombers were Chechnyans, and they started following us, watching us, they pretty much told the guy from his apartment and they start following us, watching us like everyday,” said Taramov. Said Todashev just gotten his green card (green card or citizenship?) and had spoken to Tamerlan a month before (a week before the bombing or just after?). Didn’t know Tamerlan in Chechnya. He’d also been to Boston to visit Tamerlan. Several Chechnyans in apartment complex claim they’re muslim but not radicals. In the last two months, neighbors reported unfamiliar cars and men walking around the complex and parking near the condo. She said the man used to sit in his white Mercedes and listen to music and give candy to kids. FBI sending a post-shooting incident review team from Washington. This may have been his girlfriend’s apartment. Todashev lived in a gated community in Kissimmee called Orlando Sun Village and had been in the US since 2006.”

PORT ST. LUCIE — The final resting place for the body of Orlando nightclub mass shooter and Fort Pierce resident Omar Mateen is less than three hours from where he lived.

Mateen is buried in the Muslim Cemetery of South Florida in Hialeah Gardens, which, according to its Facebook page, is the only dedicated Muslim cemetery in Florida. His body was prepared for burial at Riyadh Ul Jannah Funeral Home in Hialeah, according to his death certificate issued Wednesday afternoon. Calls to the cemetery and funeral home were directed to the owner, who was not available for comment.

Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, would not confirm at his home Wednesday any information about his son’s burial. Instead, he provided a phone number for who he said is his attorney.

A phone call to that number was answered by Wilfredo Ruiz, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Ruiz said CAIR doesn’t represent the Mateen family. CAIR, he said, is acting in a spokesperson role for the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, a mosque on West Midway Road that Omar Mateen attended.

I wish someone would visit the grave and in lieu of putting a rock or coin down leave a slab of bacon.

Did he happen to have an open casket service?

My father grew up in wartime Detroit, the “Arsenal of Democracy”.

He told me that almost every one of these drives were just make-work BS to make people feel useful and part of the war machine. Tire drives, scrap metal, fats, etc. They hardly used a bit of the recovered materials.

There’s gonna be a looooooong line of people waiting to pay their respects. Most of them drinking 64oz Big Gulps or cases of beer.

They don’t typically use caskets. Just a simple white cloth wrapper. It’s one of the primary issues taken by communities faced with bids for new Islamic cemeteries.

Tsarnaev is in a muslim cemetery a couple of miles from King’s Dominion. Hopefully someone with a full bladder has already visited that grave. Or got all of them just to be sure.

I wish he wasn’t allowed to be buried in this country, just like all the other murdering Muzzies who are buried here. The only comforting thought in this case is that this bastard was buried a looooong time after he died. Typically, a Muzzie is supposed to be buried within 24 hours after he dies, or at least three days later. This one had to wait a long time to get to Paradise.
