Michael Jackson's Funeral Scheduled

Post by kantuckyII »

Anyone else think it's pretty strange this guy ain't in the ground yet?! Geesh!
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The date of the funeral for pop legend Michael Jackson has been changed to September 3, the singer's spokesman said Friday.

Michael Jackson's burial will be at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Thursday, September 3.

Jackson originally was scheduled to be laid to rest August 29, on what would have been his 51st birthday.

The private ceremony will still take place at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, according to a statement from Ken Sunshine.

No reason was given for the change in date.

The ceremony "will be limited to family and close friends," the statement said.

Jackson died June 25 of cardiac arrest. The famed entertainer was 50.

The release date for the movie drawing on Jackson's rehearsal footage was announced Thursday. "Michael Jackson: This Is It" will run in theaters worldwide for two weeks only beginning October 28, according to Sony Pictures.


"Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, and genius as he creates and perfects his final show," Sony said.

Kenny Ortega, who was working with Jackson to create the "This Is It" concert, is also directing the documentary.

Who cares? He's a kiddie groper, a pedophile, and a freak, and now he is gone. Out of the world. Let's leave it that way.

It's hard to believe it took 2 months plus, to finally bury him. My heart goes out to his children & family.

The Medical Examiner released the body shortly after the autopsy. And a private and the “State” TV funeral were held. However, the ME kept Mike's brain "drug" testing as to the levels of drugs, types of drug, etc. Many families wait for their “loved” one to be “complete” at burial. That part has now been returned to the family and hopefully will be entombed with his body as a "complete" corpse to be buried. By the way Mike has been kept on ‘ice’...... and that’s the rest of the story......
One question the Doctor, Nurse, and Cook he had, but where's the Butler? Everyone knows it was the butler that did it.
Watch the stores for the All New "CLUE" board game featuring MJ as the victim. "It was the Doctor in the bedroom with a cocktail of drugs......" YEA, I win!!!!
It is appointed unto men to be born once, die once, have a funeral once, unless you’re MJ and then your funeral’s’ go on and on……. Maybe this time there will be final closure at least until the Movie comes out……I feel for 'his' children’s overall mental health….. DrD

Funny how discussion is still permitted here on the subject of Michael Jackson's funeral/burial arrangements, but all comments and topics regarding Ted Kennedy's recent death and funeral have been eliminated. OOPs - this is a kantucky topic, and I promised never to respond to those. Sorry.

As long as its been since he died, I think a warped poem is only fitting:


Should we put him in the ground?
Should we spin him round and round?
Lets do it fast said Sam I am,
Cause hes startin to smell like green eggs and ham.
