After pulling their own private security from the area a month after the pop icon's burial last fall, the Jackson family arranged to have a Forest Lawn security guard to exclusively guard his tomb for up to 12 hours a day (a normal guard shift). Jackson is buried in the Holly Terrace section of the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

However, last week the family decided they no longer wanted to pay for the service and felt Forest Lawn should handle the cost, according to a source close to the situation. Since the cemetery felt differently, the guard has been reassigned and there is no longer anyone exclusively guarding Jackson's tomb.

There are still restrictions on who is allowed to visit Jackson's final resting place. There is an exclusive list of about 12-15 people who currently have permission to. If anyone outside of that list wishes to visit, they must first be cleared by a vice president of Forest Lawn's main Glendale, Calif., office.

I think its a shame the fans can't visit his grave. I wonder if Michael would have liked that since he loved his fans so much. I think the fans would have been respectful of his grave. We loved him so..
