The authorities had earlier given conditions to Memon's family that the burial should be a low key affair and must be completed in a stipulated time.
The execution of Memon, a convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, was carried out shortly after a Supreme Court bench rejected a petition against his death.
