Funeral director asks for help from government

A Worcester funeral home director is pleading for government officials to use their influence to convince a cemetery to bury Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but so far no state or federal authorities have stepped forward to help out.

“We have a body for burial that has caused a lot of controversy and we can’t continue to play this game,” said Peter Stefan, owner of the Graham, Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors. “Under normal circumstances, the government would say it’s (the funeral parlor’s) responsibility to find a place for burial, but this is not normal circumstances. This is a nightmare.”

"How about a dog food company? One might take him."

Not in dog food! I would not take the chance that Dougie or Mr. Wiggles might ingest jihadi remains.

I would put them on special diet - one with no jihadi remains!

"Informed sources inform that the deceased requested in his will that he be buried in the city of Obama’s birthplace."

Why does he want to be buried in Kenya?

*snicker*

"The uncle has shown up to wash and shroud the body. Wants him buried in MA because he’s lived there the past decade."

Mr. Uncle, if that is your real name. So what if he wants to be buried in MA. MA. doesn't anything more to your nephew that last week you were calling a loser and a dishonor to the family!

Now you slap the face of Bostonians and all Americans for wanting him to be buried HERE!

Maybe you should go back the the Motherland, too. Take all your jihadi friends with you. You don't sound like a very well assimilated citizen. Do you even like America?

Don't go away mad ---- just go away.

Cremate or bag the body. There are plenty of land fills.

Peter Stefan said dozens of protesters have gathered outside his business, upset with his decision to handle the service.

I don’t see why the government and the funeral home are so concerned about following Islamic burial customs. They broke one rule already by waiting more than 24 hours to put the body in the ground. They might as well cremate the terrorist and put the ashes in a football.
