they need to create the Jackson mosoleum like they did for ceasar augustus.
The family would like to bury him at a place that can be turned into a Graceland to make money. To prevent problems it would be better if he were cremated with the family retaining the ashes.
Michael Jackson was loved by many and he is a part of all our lives, let the family do what needs to be done so Michael can rest in peace.

Carole Clark: You have no idea what you are talking about (as evidenced by the fact that you can’t even spell Carol). It says he is being interred at a public memorial park… how are they trying to profit from it, genius?
He Is Being Barried In L.A By His Home
If this is true regarding interment at Forest Lawn, this really surprises me. Even though thousands of visitors go to the various Forest Lawn cemeteries around Los Angeles, FL has a policy of not identifying the location of one’s grave. They don’t really welcome visitors as do several other parks, like “Hollywood Forever.”
Okay apparently some people don’t know what they are talking about. Hollywood Forever Cemetary (which I personally think he should have been buried there, if not at Neverland Ranch, but that’s me I don’t have a say lol) anyway, Hollywood Forever DOES welcome visitors. I have many friends buried there but I went one day to visit my friends and check out which celebs were buried there. The security guard happily guided me to the ‘gift shop’ where they had MAPS of where celebrities were buried and I was given a tour from the helpful security guard. So to say Hollywood Forever isn’t welcoming to visitors is a load of -you know what-
A public viewing is wrong for Michael as his private life he liked to keep private. This is one of the most private moments of life. I feel like I’ve been a protector of him from the beginning-I wish I would have pursued it in reality. Most all wakes are public-I agree-but Michael was too big to involve the general public-the comments on all the blogs should be representative on who would show up. I personally would like to pay my last respects to someone I admired and truly wished I’d known-but not in the chaos and poor behaved American behavior that will likely be surrounding him. My wish for him is that he be cremated, kept with his mother and then when she dies, be buried with her so she can protect him for ever. I’m sure I will get nasty comments, but I am actually having a really hard time with this and still feel the need to defend him as I don’t want to see him be made into a spectacle. Please lay him to rest before letting in the public.
lovemichaelforever: I definitely feel your pain. I am still weeping and will forever. Like the rest of the world, I am still in shock. It’s so amazing how we grow up as fans of celebrities, most of us never meet them but are so moved when tragedy strikes. He was and will forever be a part of me and my family. Through his music, spirit, family, fans, and our love for him, Micheal will continue to live and be the best.
My prayers go up and my heart goes out to all of his fans, family, & friends. He will be loved forever.
I love you Michael you’ll be missed I’ll keep you in my heart always RIP XOR
I love you Michael you are going to be missed I’ll keep you in my heart forever RIP XOR
You are right on the mark Carla!
dear micheal,
i remember when i was a kid i see a cute young boy with a different voice, dance and style really impressed me and i became one of his fan i grew with him and share my life with his spirit of his music he was beyond my understanding. whenever i go through his work i get something new who inspired the world, human being, he was ahead of this generation he will be more figured out in next generations. the world lost his voice, i am still crying and miss him but he is always with me. dear micheal rest in peace….
