Jackson Burial -- Cart Before the Horse?

Posted Jul 1st 2009 8:15AM by TMZ Staff

A white carriage hearse was spotted on the 405 Freeway -- making its way North yesterday -- toward Santa Barbara -- adding fuel to the rumors that Michael Jackson will be taken to Neverland for his final resting place.

We've already told you about the hotels that have sold out ... construction trucks and porta-pottys near the Ranch. But we're hearing nothing about the funeral has even been decided by the family.

The buzz is that Jackson's body will be taken to Neverland tomorrow, but so far we're told nothing has been decided.

16. By the way, Lou Ferrigno was just on Good Day LA (local morning 'news' show).. and he just had the nicest stories to say about MJ. One of the first things he said is - I love him.
Told us what a prankster Michael was. He would make prank calls to Lou (using a different voice and saying his name was Omar). How when Lou wanted him to use 3 lbs weights for lateral raises, Michael said that he didn't want to get big shoulders (!!haha).
And that Michael would come and work out in a tux (minus the jacket).
And they would talk about how they had strict, domineering fathers. Lou escaped w/ body building, and Michael escaped with music.
It was very sweet to hear his stories.
And he's just beyond shocked... its only been a month since he's seen him and he said Michael was in perfect health and didn't notice him to be under the influence of drugs...

17. I wonder where they're going to bury him because he did say that Neverland is not his home because of the strip search they did (so sad :'( )
But at the same time, we all want a monument! I know I do! He's too big 2 not have one n I'll be bummed out if they don't.

18. Wow, reality is setting in now. To see the carriage makes me want to cry. We come to this earth for a purpose, to live our lives to the fullest and to be ALL we can be. Not many people can say they were all they can be. But Michael is one who surely can say he was all he can be and more. He is out of any pain and sadness he was in. He does not have to deal with the cruelty of people. I just hope he's looking down at all the people who are showing love for him, I believe that's all he ever wanted in this life, was for people to love him and to love each other. Hopefully we can all learn something from this beatuiful soul, maybe it could be the one thing good out of this whole sad loss.

20. It's so pretty. I'm glad they went with white instead of the usual black. This is what Michael would have wanted.

23. That thing is creepy looking. Please don't put him in there. If it is horse drawn can horses make it 150 miles. Going to be a slow trip

27. Elvis, The King, is buried in his famous home, Graceland. The King of Pop, will now be buried in his famous home, Neverland. That is where it should be. Then they can make Neverland the next tourist stop like they did with Graceland.

28. Even his funeral is going to be a freak show. Just bury the man - he is dead and should have some dignity. It this is what the family is planning - then they are as wacked as he is. I feel for his children.

29.

They are not even sure this hearse from the 1800s will be used for MJ

BTW it is a hearse not a carriage..

If it is for Mji think it will make it more of a circus than it already is.....

Hey, Maybe Joe is going to drive it...

30. Is it just me or does the glass coffin and fairytale coach smack of 'Snow White' and a bit of a Disney theme going on? Tacky to the end.
