( CNN ) -- The sheriff of a small Virginia county , where residents and officials alike had expressed dismay over the burial of a Boston bombing suspect within their midst , said Saturday that it appears `` all paperwork is in order at this point , '' suggesting the interment was legal and nothing can be done about it . The previous day , when news came out that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been buried in Caroline County , local officials said they would review the matter to make sure all protocols were followed . And if they were n't , county board of supervisors chairman Floyd Thomas said Friday , `` We would look into undoing what happened . '' Caroline County Sheriff Tony Lippa said , in a statement Saturday , that he and David Storke -- the mayor of Bowling Green , Virginia , who also owns a funeral home -- spent Friday night reviewing the case . That includes looking at Tsarnaev 's death certificate , burial permit official disposition , a removal or transportation permit from Massachusetts and deeds recorded at the Caroline County Circuit Court . Those checks did not turn up anything to indicate the burial was done improperly . In Caroline County , local officials do not need to be consulted or have to approve the burial of a person on county land in advance . Source : Russia withheld details about Tsarnaev . `` Like the rest of America , the citizens of this county were outraged by the Boston Marathon bombings . We too mourned the loss of life , prayed for the survivors and offered our support , '' Lippa said . `` Unfortunately , we now find ourselves forever connected to this tragedy in the most unsavory way , as the final resting place of one of the alleged terrorists . '' As Thomas pointed out , Tamerlan Tsarnaev had `` no ties to Caroline County . '' His body ended up there nearly a month after he died following a shootout with police just outside Boston , which took place days after the bombing . Most recently , his body was in a funeral home in Worcester , Massachusetts , where protesters appeared frequently outside amid calls for him to be sent back to where his parents live in southern Russia . That was until a Virginia woman named Martha Mullen came into the picture , reaching out to representatives of her church plus local Muslim , Jewish and Hindu representatives in an effort to find a final resting place for Tsarnaev , according to the Islamic Society of Greater Richmond . Mullen also talked with her local pastor about the moral implications of her spearheading the effort . What did suspected bomber 's widow know ? `` Jesus tells us , 'Love your enemies , ' '' she said , according to the Islamic Society . `` Not to hate them , even after they are dead . '' On Thursday morning , Tsarnaev was buried in an unmarked grave in Al-Barzakh Muslim Cemetery in Doswell , Virginia . Tsarnaev 's uncle Ruslan Tsarni was a point man in the effort , and he expressed `` outrage '' that Tsarnaev 's own parents `` have not been here for their children . '' The burial caught people off guard in Caroline County , which has about 30,000 residents . In addition to voicing confusion and disgust , officials expressed concerns that the grave site might become a target for protesters or vandals . A sheriff 's deputy was posted there after the news broke Friday . There were no incidents reported that night and into Saturday , according to the county sheriff 's office , which added that the cemetery will get `` no more and no less '' protection than any other cemetery . CNN 's Lawrence Crook III , Jason Hanna , Justin Lear and Ashley Fantz contributed to this report .
