First Michael Jackson was to be buried on August 29th which would have been his 51st birthday. The burial was to be at Forest Lawn Cemetery, or it wasn’t. The casket is being held at Forest Lawn in a crypt owned (but not presently being used) by Barry Gordy, or not. The burial is scheduled for Saturday, September 3rd at a cost of approximately $50,000 which will be needed to pay cops to keep traffic moving and uninvited guest away. Far away! No, that’s not right. It has been changed to Thursday, September 10th and if they stick to that date it will cost the Jackson family “at least triple the price” to hire cops for a weekday burial.
Because the burial service is being limited to the Jackson family and “close friends” it seems it will take a ton of cops to keep the order. There will be cops patrolling from the ground and at least one police helicopter patrolling from the air. Sergeant Tom Lorenz, of the Glendale Police Department, said in a statement directed towards Jackson fans, “Don’t even try and come, because you won’t even be able to see the green of the Forest Lawn”. Sounds like he’s really serious, and I think I detect a note of final exasperation.
So, the Jackson’s will be asked to fork over at least $150,000 to bury Michael Jackson on a Thursday rather than $50,000 to bury him on a Saturday. They could still change their minds, in the interest of saving $100,000, and bury him on Saturday September 12th. At this point, I would be willing to chip in just to have this over and done with. How about you?
