Michael Jackson's Body Lies In Berry Gordy's Crypt

Posted Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:32pm PDT by Terrelle Lee in Musictoob

Michael Jackson's body lies in the personal crypt of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy.

According to the New York Post, Jackson awaits burial in a Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills Court Of Remembrance crypt belonging to Gordy.

It is a sparse and empty mausoleum except for a large "G" monogram. It is in the same property as the grave for several Holywood icons, including Lucille Ball and Bette Davis.

It is understood the Jackson family is divided as to where Jackson's final resting place should be.

According to People.com, father Joe Jackson wants Michael to be buried at Neverland Ranch, where a museum could be built that would generate more money.

Jackson's mother Katherine and other siblings, meanwhile, would like a different resting place for Michael, especially considering his desire never to return to Neverland after he was charged with child molestation while he lived there.

www.musictoob.com knows where all pop music's bodies are buried.

Joe Jackson is so satanic and sickening, your son is now deceased and while living went through every trial and tribulation from his adolescence to manhood years. Why does his " father" still view him as a meal ticket. Mrs. Jackson it is time to step up and for once make a strong decision for Michael.

R.I.P.

Mr. Joe Jackson shouldn't have a say-so any decisions, from here on. Mrs. Katherine Jackson stay strong you're the decision maker now!

6. Debbie - Fri Jul 10, 2009 3:54pm PDT

This is disgusting! Surely michael had a will. The man is a icon loved by people world wide. Let him rest in peace. Mrs. Jackson, your his mother and as the saying goes mother knows best. And as your sons song says "You Are Not Alone" I think we all agree with you!

If there were wishes stated in Michael Jackson's Will or Trust, HONOR THEM. If not, the family's wishes should be honored. Jermaine Jackson thinks Neverland is the right place for his brother to rest. After seeing his interview, I would tend to agree; but there is the matter of accessibility for the family to visit, which would seem to make Forest Lawn the better place.

Seriously, it is time to let the man rest. He has had a rough time already. It should not be a big deal where he spends his final rest. His father should not be so worried about CASH right now. He had funds in his trust. Neverland Ranch is not a good place for him to be burried. The family went through enough turmoil while he lived there. His soul will not rest in that house. Let the man rest in peace.

9. Dachaun - Fri Jul 10, 2009 4:34pm PDT

Please, come on now. Let the man rest. Money should not be the issue anymore. well maybe in Joe's case but anyway. Let Mrs. Jackson make the decision as to where he lays, and may it be a very peaceful place as to where the family can visit and not have any worries.

I just have one thing to say. Joe Jackson, it is YOUR fault in your raising Micheal as a "guide to fame" for YOUR ugly , satanic ass, it's YOUR fault Micheal had so many personal trials & tribulations, abused kids often find it nearly impossible to have a truly intimate longlasting relationshi, & now that Micheal is gone, how DARE you, Joe, being more concerned about making money than simply allowing Micheal to rest in Peace. Honestly, I think MJ's brother should just hog-tie this old fart to a cactus in Las Vegas desert, and leave him there for his fellow vulture mentality animals can feed on his disgusting face!

11. Sweet C - Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:01pm PDT

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. He hasn't been in the ground for 48 hours yet and there's already talk about money?!?!?!?! I'm outraged!!! Joe, I think you need yo have a seat and mourn respectfully for your son. He did his duty here on Earth by sharing his special gift of music with us and now he's gone. Money should not be on your mind. Grieving and mourning should be your position. His children are the ones that are suffering the most. Ever since Mike's been gone all we've seen is Joe's face. I'm sick and tired of looking at him. How dare you blast your face all over primetime TV talking about how to make more money. Michael, I'm not talking bad about your father, just his behavior. It's ok to cry every once and a while. My goodness!!!

12. SHORTY - Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:36pm PDT

I really do think that MR.JOE JACKSON needs to stop worrying about money and start grieving and mourning for his son MICHAEL who's have done so much for us.im a very big fan of MICHAEL JACKSON and yes i really do miss him very well. so MR.JOE JACKSON stop worryin bout making money and let your son rest in peace. i will alwys love MICHAEL JACKSON, he may be gone but his songs and video will always be in our heart and in yours to MR.JOE JACKSON

13. Serafin - Fri Jul 10, 2009 7:54pm PDT

michael jackson father have no right about the wealth of MJ only his mother and his kids many peolpe knows of what he did to MJ when he was a kid so stop worrying too much mr joe j
i am an avid fan of mj and i love his music and video he is always alive for us filipinos.....

14. Gloria G - Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:58pm PDT

I think that now is a time for grieving for their family and not a time for money making strategies. Michael Jackson, this man who has filled our lives with music....wonderful, fun and meaningful songs, should be appreciated for his great work he created while he was alive. His father needs to realize that his son is gone and he should be embarrassed for even having the thought of making money at this time. Michael has endured enough already, let him R.I.P. Michael, you will surely be missed....THANK YOU FOR YOUR SONGS!

praise god for the life micheal lived yes his mother should have the final say for her son resting place joe you need to get those dollar signs out of your head and let mrs jackson and her other kids allow the decision to be made you did what you did so why care now i loved micheal as i came up with pictures everywhere he will truly be missed he and the lord brought black and white along with other colors together all over the world he need his time alone whereever his mother lay him torest.

16. Lisa - Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:14pm PDT

i agree with the mother and siblings also, micheal never wanted
to return there and i think that should be honored, he suffered
enough with joe, he should let it be.

17. Kathy C - Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:24am PDT

Well MJ. should be laid to rest where his mother and siblings and especially his children would like him to be!!! It was mentioned in the interview with Matt Lauer that MJ felt his days at Neverland weren't the same after he was accused of molestation and that he said he would rather not return there anymore so his family members who think that he should be laid to rest there should respect his wishes and not return him to a place where he didn't want to be!!! May GOD rest his soul and give his children the peace and strength that they may need to get through this dificult time in their young lives. God Bless the entire Jackson family and bring them together in this time of healing. Put all differences aside for the sake of MJ's small children.

18. Leah - Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:20pm PDT

WELL I DON'T KNOW IF KATHERINE IS THE RIGHT ONE TO DECEIDE WHERE THEY SHOULD LAY MICHAEL JACKSON TO REST I THINK SHE IS JUST GOING TO GO ALONG WITH WHATEVER JOE WANTSSHAME ON HER IF SHE DOES SHE FAILED HER SON WHILE HE WAS STILL HERE ON EARTH I HOPE SHE DOESN'T LET HIM DOWN IN DEATH MICHAEL MY WISH AND PRAYERS FOR U IS THAT U ARE FINALLY AT PEACE GOD HAS U NOW NO MORE PAIN U WERE THE BIGGEST STAR ON EARTH NOW U ARE THE BIGGEST STAR WALKING AROUND R.I.P MR. MICHAEL JACKSON.

19. LuvOfPugs - Sun Jul 12, 2009 6:04pm PDT

Where Michael is layed to rest should be in the hands of Kathryn Jackson. He should be buried by his Grandmother or anywhere secure where the public cannot get to him. Joe Jackson does not have any right in any of the decisions made. And a cemetary where they can visit their loved one is more appropriate then Neverland Ranch in Central California.

20. Katina - Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:18pm PDT

DID ANYONE STOP TO THINK ABOUT MICHAEL. HE JUST NEEDS TO BE BURIED WHERE HE IS SAFE AND SOUND. MAYBE HE KNEW SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WAS GOING TO DO THIS.AND THATS WHY HE CALLED '' THIS IS IT'' HIS LAST TOUR. MAYBE LAYTOYA IS RIGHT I BELIEVE IT WAS FOUL PLAY. BUT EITHER WAY LET HIM REST, HE DESERVES TO BE AT PEACE. THE MAN WAS A HARD WORKER. DAMMIT JUST LET HIM BE!!
