Police said it's costing the department tens of thousands of dollars to provide security at the funeral home that is holding Tsarnaev's body, and officer details are wasting precious resources.

A mortuary familiar with Muslim services will handle funeral arrangements for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a gun battle with police after an intense manhunt, a funeral director said Friday.

Stefan said everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of their death and he is prepared for protests. He added that arrangements have yet to be worked out.
