Yakub's body was buried at the Bada Kabristan in Marine Lines, where his father had also been buried.
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.
