The body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of two brothers suspected of carrying out the bombings at the Boston Marathon last month, was buried in a cemetery in Doswell, Va. this week, The Boston Globe reports.

Tsarnaev was laid to rest at Al-Barzakh Cemetery, a Muslim burial site about 15 miles outside Richmond.

According to The Globe, Tsarnaev’s body was brought to central Virginia thanks to a Richmond woman who was distressed to hear about protests outside the Worcester, Mass. funeral home that took in Tsarnaev.

The burial was coordinated by Martha Mullen, 48, a Virginia woman who saw news reports about the protests outside the Worcester funeral home where Tsarnaev’s remains languished for nearly a week, and decided to help.

“It portrayed America at its worst,” she told the Globe this morning. “The fact that people were picketing this poor man who was just trying to help [funeral director Peter Stefan] really upset me.”

She said that she had reached out to Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, which is associated with the Islamic Society of Greater Richmond. The Islamic organization secured a burial plot in the cemetery and coordinated the body’s secret transfer Wednesday night.

Tsarnaev, 26, died April 19 during a shootout with police in Watertown, Mass., four days after he and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, allegedly detonated two bombs at the the marathon’s finish line in downtown Boston. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was later arrested following a day-long manhunt and is currently in a federal prison facility in Massachusetts.

Although Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body was first received by a funeral home in Worcester, his family could not find a Massachusetts cemetery willing to accept his body for burial. Tsarnaev’s body was claimed by his uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who lives in Montgomery Village, Md.
