Michael Jackson Funeral Burial (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Michael Jackson was laid to rest last night at Forest Lawn Memorial Park . The invitation only event was to have taken place at sunset but it was well past that time when the family arrived for the gathering with their invited celebrity guests.
In a tree-lined clearing, 200 people gathered for the interment of Michael Jackson at the Forest Lawn Mausoleum. The family was seated together, with Katherine Jackson sitting beside Joe Jackson. Brothers Randy, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon wore one white glove, a red tie and a red rose on the lapel of their matching black suits.
Paris Jackson and her brothers Prince and Blanket placed a crown on their father’s golden casket. Music was provided by Gladys Knight, who sang His Eye is on the Sparrow and Clifton Davis, who sang Never Can Say Goodbye.
Among the guests were Elizabeth Taylor, Barry Bonds, Al Sharpton, Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Chris Tucker, Kenny Ortega, Corey Feldman, Quincy Jones and Lisa Marie Presley.
Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier is dating LaToya Jackson and is reportedly planning to move into Jackson’s Holmby Hills estate in December, when the Jackson lease expires – see details here.

Such class and dignity.
Tears still well up in my eyes when I think of how Michael left us.
Where was his “good friend” Diana Ross throughout all the death/funeral hoopla? I’ve not seen her name or photo anywhere regarding MJ’s death. Probably passed out drunk somewhere.
When Someone mourns or griefs for the loss of a loved one it is very traumatic. Many of us need our time
and space to handle this type of loss differently.
Dianna Ross is no different from anyone else. We are
all human and will one day suffer a loss.
IF THE KING OF POP IS REALLY GONE,THEN I WILL SAY…………………………..THE RESERVATION OF INSPIRATION GONE……………………….THE RESERVATION OF POP MUSIC IS GONE TOO
There was nothing so strange about this sweet , creative and good human being Michael Jackson, that he should have been named wacko jacko. Shame on every one that speaks without respect about him, that gave millions so much joy in so many ways. He was a good son, good brother, perfect father to HIS children and friend to all children and all that understood his lyrics, music and fun dances. Before you judge him, try harder to respect and love him. Emily from Holland.
I listen to his songs every hour, every day…ohhh myyy…can’t believe it…I wish the best for the children and hope that they can think wise for their future without their father…so sad and this will take a long time for us, the fans. Even though some of us never get the chance to get near him, but we can feel that he was so near to us..RIP Michael..from all of us, your fans all around the globe..
This whole thing has been so sad. Still can’t really believe he is gone. But, I’m glad he has finally been laid to rest. Maybe now he will finally be at peace. Good night Love. (X)
i am really sorry his kids had to go through with this it must be really hard on them well i know and my grandfather died a few days after he did please let th ekids decide who they want to be with it is there decision they should be with the mother of michael jackson but that is my opinon but please let them decicde please please please oh i really liked michael i love him and his songs he had a amazing voice
It is well with Michael Jackson’s soul.
HE WAS AN ADDICT AND A FREAK. IF HE WAS SUCH A ROLE MODEL WHY DID HE THROW IT ALL AWAY OF STUPID DRUGS. HE WILL NOW FOR ETERNITY REAP WHAT HE SOWED
I don’t understand how people can talk bad about such a great person. He was great to his children, never had a children, set the standards in everything he did from dancing, to singing, to even helping those in need. He was such a great giving person and I hate when people want to bash him for the negativity. I know his children lost a great father and I hope tthe best for them and the rest of his family for such a loss. Even macauly caulkin was there, what about those rumors? Michael Jackson was a great person and wouldn’t hurt a fly. Rest in peace to one of the greatest people to ever live. And thanks for leaving such great songs and dances and love for peace which this world really needs. Too bad most other artists don’t come close to this mans integrity and humbleness.

RIP Micheal,
You were the Greatest and no one can take that away from you. You lived a life none of us could imagine and I know you had sorrow for not being able to live a normal life. You were humble and a very giving Man, that in it self says a lot. I hate that you could not get the help that you needed, life is hard whether you are rich or poor, but through all your bad moments you succeeded. So sleep my dear Micheal you will be in the resurrection that was promise from our Father thru Jesus Christ, hopefully I will be there on that paradise earth and tell you just what you meant to me. Love You Always Charletta
