The mystery regarding Michael Jackson’s burial continues as the embalmed body of the King of Pop still lies in Forest Lawn mortuary. Strangely enough, it took a month for his family to decide where the legendary pop icon will be “laid to rest”.
Previously, it was learnt that Jackson will be buried at Holly Terrace at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park on August 29, 2009 which would have been Michael’s 51st birthday. The burial controversy took a new turn when Michael’s brother Joe Jackson revealed the two days postponement of MJ’s burial in front of the media.
Finally, to add to MJ fans’ disappointment the burial, as told by the family spokesperson, will take place on Thursday, September 3 instead of Saturday, August 31. The entire ceremony will be a private affair, restricted to family and friends only. But this time the delay would cost Jackson family thrice the original price of $50,000 for burial service. About 90% of the price will be spent on security and perimeter control, which is a major issue on weekdays. However, we pray for the peace of MJ’s soul!
