The King of Pop will be buried on what would have been his 51st birthday, a spokesman for Michael Jackson's family said yesterday.
He will be buried at a private ceremony at Forest Lawn-Glendale on August 29 more than two months after his death on June 25. Guests will be limited to family and close friends.
"The Jackson family once again wishes to express its gratitude to MJ's fans for their support during these difficult times," said spokesman Ken Sunshine.
The cemetery
Jackson will be buried on the Holly Terrace at the cemetery's Great Mausoleum.
The cemetery's website describes the mausoleum as featuring replicas of works by Michelangelo. It also features a stained glass recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.
Forest Lawn spokesman Bill Martin said the cemetery does not comment on private funeral services. |
