RIP

ok. they have finally actually REALLY buried Michael Jackson's body.

Exactly ten weeks after he was found dead, and more than enough hullabaloo over his final resting place, Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest last night, Sept. 3, with a private ceremony at Glendale, California’s Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Some 200 friends and family members attended the 90-minute, evening funeral, which concluded with the King of Pop entombed in Forest Lawn’s Great Mausoleum, the final resting place of Walt Disney, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, W.C. Fields and other Hollywood legends. According to a statement from the Jackson family, Michael’s five brothers Tito, Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and Jackie all served as pallbearers.

Elizabeth Taylor, Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, Stevie Wonder, Macaulay Culkin and Quincy Jones were among those in attendance. Michael’s three children – Prince Michael, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II – placed a crown atop Jackson’s casket, “to signify the final resting place of the King of Pop,” according to a family spokesman.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Glendale police established a security cordon, blocking off streets around the 300-acre cemetery and relegating the sprinkling of fans who showed up to positions behind barricades a couple of blocks away.

A dozen fans held up a banner reading “King of Pop Michael Jackson Gone Too Soon.”

After the service, the family released a statement, saying, “Michael Jackson reached his final resting place tonight at 9:43 pm PST in The GreatMausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park.”
