EXCLUSIVE: Family Fights Over Michael Jackson's Burial
Posted on Jul 08, 2009 @ 11:00AM - 2 comments
The memorial is over, the tributes have been paid, but behind the scenes family members of Michael Jackson have been arguing over his final resting place.
Jermaine Jackson has stated he wants Michael's final resting place to be Neverland, but local laws prevent burial on the private property.
It is possible that Michael could be cremated and his ashes spread over Neverland.
But Michael's mother Katherine doesn't want her son's ashes or body anywhere near Neverland, a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
"Michael left Neverland for good, never to return," the source said. "He felt violated by law enforcement after his molestation trial. He felt this place he had built had been tainted. Katherine continues to be her son's protector even after his death."
The family pulled together for the tribute to Michael at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday. His body was driven away from Staples Center after the ceremony but it was unclear where it was headed and which family member had prevailed in the debate where to bury Michael.

It is only fitting that in death Michael Jackson should be just as mysterious as he was in life.

After Tuesday's moving memorial service at Staples Center in Los Angeles, rumors and reports are flying about where the King of Pop will - and will not - be buried.

It was widely expected that Jackson would be buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery. His family held a private ceremony there Tuesday morning.
But now sources say Jackson will not be buried there. And that's where the mystery and intrigue begins.
One source says Jackson will be cremated and have his ashes spread across Neverland. (Regulations prevent him from being buried there.) Another source claims that Jackson is going to be buried in a cemetery outside of Los Angeles. And other sources still maintain that he will be buried at Forest Lawn.
Interestingly enough, Forest Lawn cemetery- where Jackson’s body had been since his death- was listed as only a temporary location for his body. His final resting place has yet to be officially determined.

A wedding ring worn by Ryan O'Neal at Farrah Fawcett's funeral Tuesday leaves lingering questions as to if the Love Story star actually married his longtime love prior to her death last week.
Just days prior to her death, O'Neal, 68, told Barbara Walters that he had asked his dying love to marry her and she agreed. He said that even if the then near-death Fawcett couldn't speak, she would have nodded in approval.
