Michael Jackson Burial

Hollywood stars Macaulay Culkin along with Elizabeth Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley and many other friends and family attended Michael Jackson's burial as he was finally laid to rest in a private ceremony in California. This finally happened Ten weeks after his death. Jackson passed away at his Holmby Hills home on June 25th. The star a week later was remembered with a family funeral and a star-studded public memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles California. It has been more than two months for the Thriller singers body to be buried following a reported disagreement among his family over a suitable burial ground. The Jackson family eventually decided to inter the singer at the Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park last night.The beloved star’s family and friends came together one more time to pay their last respects. Jackson’s family, including his mother Katherine and father Joe, his siblings, and his three children Prince Michael, Paris, and Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, were driven to the memorial park in a fleet of Rolls Royce limousines, arriving over an hour late for the 7pm start. Jackson's close friends including Macaulay Culkin and his girlfriend Mila Kunis, actor Chris Tucker, and Elizabeth Taylor attended the outdoor ceremony, which saw around 200 guests seated on white chairs on the lawns outside the crypt and signing a book of condolence for the fallen singer. Taylor was left devastated by her close friend’s death and refused to attend his public memorial service because she didn’t want to be part of the "hoopla," but agreed to attend the private ceremony yesterday. Jackson’s ex-wife Presley also turned out for her late former husband. Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight were both reportedly asked to sing at the tribute, ahead of Jackson’s $30,000 gold casket being lowered into a concrete burial pit close to stars including Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and his idol Walt Disney. Security was very tight at the service, with police setting up a wide perimeter around the park to stop fans getting anywhere near the closed ceremony. Helicopters with thermal imaging devices also circled overhead to detect any unwanted intruders. Two fans reportedly attempted to gatecrash the event in the hours leading up to the service, but they were swiftly apprehended by security guards and then removed by police, according to Sky News.
