Michael Jackson’s Burial Confirmed
Aug 12, 2009 Michael Jackson, Singer
Six weeks after his death, the Jackson family has finally decided to bury Michael Jackson at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Memorial Park. There’s no word whether the mortuary plans to make some security changes to accommodate the public figure. There has been countless speculation that the King of Pop would be laid to rest at Neverland Ranch but his mom Katherine protested as the late singer deserted the home shortly after his highly publicized child molestation trial. I hope that the burial will give the family and fans the closure that they need and that Michael can finally rest in peace.

Michael Jackson’s body moved from crypt to basement
Jul 14, 2009 Michael Jackson
The fear that Michael Jackson’s fans might break into his crypt have led his body to be moved into a basement.
Jackson’s coffin was put inside a tomb belonging to Motown founder Berry Gordy after the epic Staples Center memorial service in Los Angeles.
The Jackson family wanted to keep its location secret, but information as to its whereabouts at Hollywood’s Forest Lawn Cemetery was leaked. With a decision about the final resting place still being made, thousands of fans and tourists flocked to the site.
The decision is also said to be delayed by testing of Jackson’s brain that is needed to determine the answer to the riddle of his sudden death at the age of 50.
Disagreement is said to have torn Jermaine Jackson and Michael’s other brothers and Jackson’s mother, Katherine, over where he should be laid to rest. Jermaine favours Neverland Ranch, but Katherine believes it to be too tainted for a burial place.
Jackson lived at the Neverland property from 1988 to 2003 before he was charged with child molestation. He never returned, and his mother thinks that’s how things should stay in his death.
