Burial wrangle for Boston suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev

               Peter Stefan sits in his funeral home in Worcester, Massachusetts, 3 May  
Peter Stefan: "I keep bringing up the point of Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh or Ted Bundy. Somebody had to do those, too."
The search is on for a cemetery to bury Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev as protesters picket the funeral home holding his body.
The director of the funeral home in Worcester, Massachusetts, likened the task to burying notorious mass murderers from recent US history.

Peter Stefan revealed Tsarnaev's death certificate, showing gunshots and blunt trauma as the causes of death.
Tsarnaev's surviving brother Dzhokhar is under arrest for the bombing.
The brothers are accused of planting two bombs near the finishing-line of the Boston Marathon on 15 April. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured in an attack which shocked America.
They are also suspected of later shooting dead one policeman and injuring another.
Dzhokhar, 19, was shot and injured during the police manhunt and remains in a prison hospital. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted.
Three of his college friends have been arrested on suspicion of obstructing police inquiries after the bomb attack.
