    Okay, I'm still confused here - even wiki said he was buried in December but the more I think about it, the more I think the family is probably saying that they can't afford a decent headstone. NBC, CBS, and all of them covered the funeral and Tamir's body was in the casket.

    Either that, or somebody is lying here but there is no reason to fake a funeral or say there was no funeral when some of us remember the one all over the news. Very poorly stated in any event.

    There were definitely funeral services; but the mounting evidence says they decided not to bury him.

    Edited to add:
    Frankly, it's weird. The family decided not to bury him, with no indication the police or anyone might need the body for anything. It's pretty clear what happened; so further examination of the body doesn't seem like it would provide any new information. So I can't really figure out why they don't just do it....

    I was just reading that too Sapper. It's just stupid at this point to not have buried that child just because you think they are gonna exhume the body.

    All things considered, I'd think it would be in the city's best interest to waive any accruing fees for obvious reasons.

    You can often times lease a casket just for the showing. Families who cremate their loved ones often do this.

    It appears that they just don't want to have to dig the body back up after they bury him. Nobody was expecting the police investigation to take 6 months.

    So yeah, there is something more to this. They could have written a new set of World Book Encyclopedias in 6 months. It doesn't take that long to write up an investigation for a call and a shooting.
