Details remain murky as to where the pop singer will be buried or if he will instead be cremated
When the crowds of adoring fans thronging the Staples Centre in Los Angeles have gone home, Michael Jackson's family will lay him to rest. Where, is anyone's guess.
Many have speculated Jackson will meet the ages at the secretive Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a privately owned cemetery in the Hollywood Hills that is the purported home to the graves of Sammy Davis Jr, Humphrey Bogart, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, and other American show business stars.
The Jackson family held a private service there this morning before the police-escorted funeral cortege made its way to the Staples Centre for the public memorial.
But the New York Post reported yesterday that the family may cremate the body to evade regulations that prevent his burial at Jackson's Neverland ranch. The paper reported the family would scatter his ashes there. The newspaper also reported the family would temporarily inter Jackson's body at a section of the Forest Lawn cemetery called Lincoln Terrace, which features a large statue of former American president Abraham Lincoln.
