On Friday evening, Kermiche was buried in a discreet funeral in the Muslim section of a multi-faith cemetery in the Puiseux-Pontoise suburb northwest of Paris. The family owns a crypt in the cemetery, and the... law guarantees the right to be buried, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the person’s death,” a local official said. France has wrestled with the conundrum of where to bury the jihadists behind a string of deadly attacks in recent months. After standing in solidarity with Christians mourning the bloodshed at the Normandy church, local Muslim leaders in France refused to grant Kermiche a Muslim burial.
