Jackson family will have Michael buried in Forest Lawn Park in Glendale, but Mystery Surrounds Michael Jackson''s Burial - they are not burying the body yet

The King of Pop will be laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills after a private family ceremony Tuesday - just hours before the public farewell for the King of Pop.

Jackson''s grave will be in the same cemetery where entertainers and screen stars like Bette Davis, Andy Gibb Ozzie Nelson, Freddie Prinze, Liberace - even the recently deceased David Carradine - are buried or interred.

Michael Jackson planned album of classical music
Michael Jackson had several classical music compositions in the works, according to composer David Michael Frank, including one that existed only in his head
Besides his epic run of concerts and an on-again off-again pop comeback record, Michael Jackson was allegedly working on something else at the time of his death – an album of classical music.
Composer David Michael Frank claims he was approached about the project about two months ago. He and Jackson had met in 1989, working on a TV tribute to Sammy Davis Jr. Two decades later, the star invited Frank to his home in Los Angeles''s Holmby Hills. They discussed classical music – Frank says he was "impressed" by Jackson''s knowledge – and then the singer showed him "two demos of two pieces he''d written". Neither composition was complete.
"For one of them, he had a whole section of it done in his head," Frank told Billboard yesterday. "He had not recorded it. He hummed it to me as I sat at the keyboard in his pool house and we figured out the chords – I guess this recording I made is the only copy that exists of this music."
Jackson asked Frank to work on orchestral arrangements of the pieces.
At the time of their meeting, Jackson appeared in good health. "He seemed totally healthy, not frail, and gave me a firm handshake when we met," Frank said. "[He] had a good voice and was in good spirits. He was very skinny, but from what I knew, he was always thin. He was also taller than I pictured, but he might have been wearing some platform shoes. And he was impeccably dressed."
The composer did not see Jackson again, though he received a call a few weeks ago to see how the arrangements were progressing. "He mentioned more instrumental music of his he wanted to record, including one jazz piece," Frank said. "I hope one day his family will decide to record this music as a tribute and show the world the depth of his artistry."
David Michael Frank is primarily a film and TV composer, working on television series such as The Mole, Fortune Hunter and Above the Law

Michael Jackson lived in mystery, so it’s hardly a surprise his final resting place is a puzzle.
Jackson will not be buried at Forest Lawn and reports say his body will not be going to Neverland either.
The body will go somewhere else pending final burial. If a casket goes to Forest Lawn, it’s a decoy.
The death certificate lists Forest Lawn as the responsible mortuary because the body was embalmed there but the rest is being kept secret.

Jackson''s Death Sparks Fierce Debate in Congress

Michael Jackson''s death -- and controversial life -- has sparked a fierce debate in Congress, with one Democrat introducing a resolution to honor the King of Pop as a "humanitarian" and a Republican representative blasting America''s obsession with a "lowlife."

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, is calling on Congress to recognize Jackson as a "global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises" and celebrate the King of Pop as "an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security."

The resolution, which was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the day after Jackson''s death June 25, lists the singer''s accomplishments as a musical icon in detail, including his record-breaking album sales and two-time induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The resolution also cites Jackson''s "humanitarian" work, including his 1984 visit to a burn unit at a Los Angeles hospital and his decision to grant a dying 14-year-old''s request to visit his home.

But while Jackson-Lee is pushing for lawmakers to honor Jackson, one New York congressman has blasted the King of Pop as a "pervert" and called on society to stop "glorifying" the late entertainer in a YouTube video posted Monday.

Rep. Peter King said Jackson -- whom he called a "lowlife" -- is being glorified in the days after his death while society ignores the efforts, of teachers, police officers, firefighters and veterans.

In the two-minute video, King claims the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson''s death is "too politically correct."

"Let''s knock out the psychobabble," King said in the video taped outside an American Legion Hall on New York''s Long Island. "He was a pervert, a child molester; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we''re too politically correct."

King, a Republican who is among the possible contenders for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, said Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing," but blasted the singer as someone who could not be trusted around children.

"There''s nothing good to say about this guy," King continued. "But the bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson?"

Multiple calls placed to King on Monday were not returned. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press, King defended his comments, saying Jackson had "admitted to sleeping with young boys, traveling with young boys ... That''s the definition of pedophilia."

King said he decided to post the video after speaking with constituents over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

"A number of them were mentioning to me, ''When''s this stuff with Michael Jackson going to end?" King said. "It''s just too much."

Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine declined to comment saying the Jackson family is preparing for the funeral.

An attorney for Jermaine Jackson, Michael''s older brother, called King''s comments "highly inflammatory" and defamatory.

"Michael Jackson was found not guilty and to state with such vehement affirmation that he was something that he was not is a reflection of the congressman''s lack of respect for the rule of law, which ironically he was elected to uphold," attorney Vicki Roberts told FOXNews.com.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, FOX News'' senior judicial analyst, said there''s "no cause for action" for defaming the dead.

"Thus, no lawsuit may successfully be brought against [King]," Napolitano said.

In 2005, Jackson was acquitted of molesting a boy who spent time at his Neverland ranch and appeared with him in the 2003 British documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson."

The entertainer had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him.
Earlier, in 1993, Jackson was accused of molesting a boy who often stayed at his home. The singer denied any wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the boy''s family -- reported to be $25 million -- and criminal charges were never filed.


Michael Jackson''s body left the Staples Center in Los Angeles in a funeral motorcade Tuesday after a star-studded public memorial service for the singer, but it wasn''t immediately clear where the King of Pop''s body was headed.

Los Angeles police told FOX News that the hearse carrying Jackson''s golden casket would be taken to a cemetery, but it appears unlikely that the cemetery will be Forest Lawn Memorial Park, as was originally expected.

FOX News obtained a copy of Jackson''s death certificate, dated Tuesday, which names Forest Lawn for temporary use. The family held a private service there before the casket was taken to the Staples Center, but Los Angeles Officer April Harding said Jackson''s body will not be returning there.

"Deferred" is typed in the space on the death certificate for "cause of death," since authorities are waiting for the results of additional forensic tests before reaching their conclusion. The certificate is signed by Los Angeles County Health Officer Jonathan Fielding. Other information has been redacted.
