A source close to Boris Berezovksy's family said a decision has not yet been made on where and when the former tycoon will be buried, the BBC's Russian Service reported Wednesday.
The source denied earlier reports that the late oligarch's daughters Yelizaveta and Yekaterina had decided to bury him in the Gunnersbury Cemetery in London and said Berezovsky had earlier expressed the desire to be buried in Israel.
The 67-year-old Russian tycoon was found dead on March 23 in a locked bathroom in his luxury mansion near London with a ligature around his neck and a piece of similar material on the shower rail above him.
The initial postmortem examination revealed a broken rib but no bruising on his body. Police have said they could not rule out foul play, though the results of several different toxicology tests will not be available for several weeks.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
