Michael Jackson will finally be buried on his 51st birthday on Saturday, August 29. According to the New York Daily News, Jackson will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetary in Hollywood, California, where his body has been frozen since his death.
Various reports had previously stated that the family was at odds over where Michael's body would be buried. But Joe Jackson apparently told the NY Daily News that the family had finalized burial plans over the last couple of days.
This past weekend, TMZ reported that Michael's mother Katherine had gone to visit Michael's frozen body quite often. TMZ also reported that Jermaine Jackson was becoming estranged from the family, as he was the only member of the Jackson bunch who wished to bury Michael at Neverland. Family members insist that Michael hated Neverland and never wanted to go back there ever since the molestation trial.
The most interesting piece of information in this recent MJ drama is that Jermaine Jackson is on the payroll of the firm that actually owns the Neverland Ranch, according to the NY Daily News.
Last week, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office completed the autopsy but were keeping the results a secret, at the request of the LAPD.
