So, Where is Michael Jackson?

Some ask this question repeatedly, and yet, they get no answer. Although Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, California was the site of a private service for the King of Pop’s close family and friends, they are not releasing any details as to whether Michael Jackson’s body will be, or has been interred at the park.

After the private service at Forest Lawn, the icon’s body was transported to the Staples Center for the public memorial service. At the end of the public service, the Los Angeles Police Department did an excellent job managing the crowds and preventing anyone from following the casket to its next location.

Some do believe that Michael Jackson will be resting at Neverland Ranch, but this rumor has not been confirmed, and it is highly unlikely since only a small share of ownership in the estate was retained by Michael Jackson.

For now, we will just have to accept the fact that we may not know where the burial ground is located for some time, if ever. For the time being, the Jackson family doesn’t want millions of people visiting their beloved’s gravesite, and that is something that we should all respect.

A Memorable Memorial

Only 11,000 fans were lucky enough to get seats inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday for Michael Jackson's Memorial. The star-studded memorial included speeches and performances by well-known celebrities who were friends with the late King of Pop.

An article on cnn.com includes a direct quote from Paris Katherine Jackson (11), Michael Jackson's daughter, stating that he was "the best father you could ever imagine." Paris fought back the tears as she joined the rest of the Jackson family in mourning their great loss.

Brooke Shields, who had been friends with Jackson since she was 13, gave an emotional goodbye, as did Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records, Queen Latifah, Martin Luther King III, and Rev. Sharpton, just to name a few.

Emotional performances by Usher, Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz, John Mayer, Jermaine Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Lionel Ritchie brought tears to those who were watching, and loving messages were read from Nelson Mandela and Diana Ross.

The memorial came to an end with beautiful renditions of Heal the World and We Are the World performed by Michael Jackson's family, celebrity friends, and band members gathered together on stage. It was an emotional event for everyone who witnessed it, and there is no doubt that the King of Pop will live in our hearts forver.
