Michael Jackson Ø to be buried

at Los Angeles cemetery

 

Singer to be interred

in private ceremony

attended by friends and family

 

Thursday 3 September 2009

Michael Jackson is to be buried today

in a private ceremony

attended by his family and friends.

 

The pop star's family will inter him

at the Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum

at the Forest Lawn cemetery,

in Los Angeles, at 7pm (3am Friday BST).

 

The burial comes more than two months

after 50-year-old Jackson died at his rented home in the city

as a result of acute intoxication by the anaesthetic propofol,

and almost two months after a public memorial ceremony for him.

Last week, the LA county coroner revealed

that Jackson's death had been ruled to be homicide,

but no charges have yet been filed.

The singer had originally been due to be buried on 29 August

– the day he would have celebrated his 51st birthday.

However, the date was revised

to give the family more time to plan the ceremony.

It is believed they intend to purchase

12 burial spaces surrounding Jackson's grave.

The Los Angeles superior court judge Mitchell Beckloff

authorised the estate to pay for the burial

after lawyers for Jackson's mother, Katherine,

asked for the expenses to be signed off.

Jeryll Cohen, a lawyer

for the Jackson estate's administrators, said:

"The expenses are extraordinary.

However, Michael Jackson was extraordinary."

to make sure trains ran on time,

products were turned into commodities

in the grain elevators that 'banked' wheat,

a recalcitrant river had its direction reversed,

and the first skyscrapers went up

to exploit valuable real estate

and celebrate the aspirations of its builders.
