Michael Jackson Funeral – The funeral of Michael Jackson will include a public viewing at Neverland Ranch where the white carriage seen below will carry a glass coffin bearing Michael Jackson in a slow processional past thousands of fans.
The Michael Jackson funeral motorcade will set off from Los Angeles at around 10:00 a.m. on Thursday for the 250-mile journey north to the Neverland Ranch.
The memorial services are likely to create unprecedented attention from Jackson’s legion of fans and the media, with dozens of network TV satellite trucks already lining the entrance to Neverland.
The singer’s body will be transported to his funeral in a white carriage led by two horses, instead of the traditional black hearse.
His body will then be placed on show in a glass coffin at Neverland, to give fans a chance to say their personal farewells.
The white coach and glass coffin for his funeral fit Jackson’s obsession with such children’s stories as Peter Pan and the fantastical style of his Neverland Ranch.
It is expected that the Jackson family will hold a private funeral Sunday for family and friends, but no announcement has been made as to which cemetery will hold Michael Jackson’s grave, which is certain to draw fans for years to come.
A senior LAPD chief talked with reporters about traffic control issues: “We are preparing for an event of historic proportions. We will be co-operating closely with the family once they have decided where to hold the funeral.”
And that’s the latest news on the Michael Jackson funeral.

even tho i never knew him personally, i still felt close to him thru his music and style, no-one should have ever downed Michael for wanting to play sometimes as a grown-up, it doesn’t hurt sometimes to let go of all the stress and demands that you have to deal with everyday . sometimes if you just stop: and play, like climbing a tree, if i had have had the chance to go NeverLand with Michael i believe i would have acted as a bigger kid than him. If you can take the time to enjloy life like running thru a fountain, it is so much fun, i wish i had gotten the chance to tell Michael how i feel. i am a 44 year old grandmother, i still ride rollercoasters, have water balloon fights! and run thru fountains and i enjoy it very much, it is so relaxing to just play at heart. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL, I AM ALSO A BIG BIG BIG FAN YOUR SISTER JANET’S. MY PRAYERS ARE FOR THE ENTIRE JACKSON FAMILY. ARTHEA CANADA

I Love You Michael and i am always going to miss you. I even wrote him a letter from Pakistan when i was 12 years old and now i am 35. i read two books about Michael Jackson. I cried when i heard that michael Jackson died. i was thinking maybe its not true. I never believed in any of the allegations about him. I feel sorry for his children. May God Bless them and give them long and healthy life. (Amen)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson’s home, a law enforcement official said Friday as the city planned for a massive crowd at the singer’s memorial service.
Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it’s given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home.
The law enforcement official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak about the matter.
A Los Angeles Police spokesman, Lt. John Romero, declined to discuss the case. “It’s an ongoing investigation,” he said.

Authorities are investigating allegations that the 50-year-old Jackson had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants. Any criminal charges would depend on whether Jackson had been overly prescribed medications, given drugs inappropriate for his needs, or if doctors knowingly prescribed Jackson medications under an assumed name.
Edward Chernoff, an attorney for Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, said Friday through a spokeswoman that he had agreed with investigators not to comment until information is released through official channels. Murray was in Jackson’s rented mansion when the singer collapsed June 25.
Murray has spoken to police and authorities say he is not a suspect. In an earlier interview, Chernoff said Murray never gave or prescribed Jackson the painkillers Demerol or OxyContin, and denied reports suggesting that the doctor gave the pop star drugs that contributed to his death.
Chernoff would not discuss what drugs the doctor administered to Jackson, but said they would have been prescribed in response to a specific complaint.
As Jackson recently prepared for a massive series of comeback concerts, he was so distraught over persistent insomnia that he pleaded for Diprivan, according to Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who was working with the singer.
Lee said she repeatedly rejected his demands because the drug was unsafe.
It’s still not known what caused Jackson’s death at age 50. The pop star went into cardiac arrest in his bedroom and his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, performed CPR while an ambulance was called, according to Murray’s lawyers. Murray has spoken to police and authorities say he is not a suspect.
An autopsy was conducted but results are not expected for several weeks. The Jackson family had a second autopsy performed and those results also are pending.
