MSNBC reports:
More than two months after his death, Michael Jackson’s burial will finally take place at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif., on Thursday. He’ll be laid to rest near many of his longtime heroes, such as Walt Disney and Nat King Cole.
Jackson's body will be placed in the Holly Terrace section of the Great Mausoleum, which, according to a source who has seen the burial site, “looks like a cathedral.” Part of the Mausoleum in below ground, part above. Jackson will be placed above ground.
Aside from immediate family, expect Jackson family confidants, such as Rev. Al Sharpton, to attend the 4 p.m. PT burial. A family source confirms that Debbie Rowe, Prince and Paris Jackson’s mother, was invited to attend, but at press time she hadn’t confirmed whether she’d be there.
As for the ceremony itself, “it won’t be a religious one,” according to the family source. “The kids (Paris, Prince and Blanket) might say something, too, but the plan is to have (Jackson’s brother) Randy deliver the eulogy.”
The family has said it wants this to be a private event; however, sources close to the clan say to expect to see “private” portions surface on the A&E reality show about the Jackson brothers that is currently being taped.
Something that might never make it to film, however, is the infighting that still exists in the Jackson family. “There is such a lack of natural affection toward Michael,” said the source. “It’s like they’re fans, not family, and they’re just idolizing him instead of burying him in a timely way, which is how they’d bury any other Jackson. And when they aren’t idolizing him, they’re worrying about his money. Michael supported almost the whole family, and now there’s panic.”
R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON!!
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
