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.

32. I totally agree with #1. He may not have stated in his will, but he did say it on tv, that he did not want to return to Neverland. I hope and pray that they don't try to turn Neverland into a Graceland. I can't imagine Michael resting in eternity at that place. R.I.P. Michael, you are loved by millions of people, that say's so much about the kind of man you were, always in our hearts, with lots of LOVE..

33. Why would they bury him at Neverland? Isn't that place all brokendown and overgorwn with weeds after years of neglect?

34. Wow, reality IS setting in. I wish I could go to his funeral, but I have too many commitments. MJ, you will live in my heart forever! The carriage is beautiful just as the funeral will be. I have been watching MJ video's all day and I can't get enough of his music. He was a talented, misunderstood person. I can't get the song BEN out of my mind. His had a beautiful voice. RIP, MJ. You are now at rest.

37. Fox News just reported that the plans for a Public Viewing at Neverland is out. They says there was no way to pull it off so fast and people were complaining about it being a holiday weekend that killed it.

38. 10. The late King Ludwig of Bavaria would be jealous. Is Michael Jackson going to be dressed in his Lord of the Admiralty (Cap n' Crunch) outfit?Posted at 11:28AM on Jul 1st 2009 by Never-Never-Neverland


I wouldn't be surprised by anything those people do. When is everyone going to realize they are the ultimate exhibitionists? Quoting that master of the intellect, Jamie Fox, "we will make MJ's funeral bigger & better than Elvis' & Kennedy's. That's what they are all about; making a bigger circus out of this disgusting debacle. It is what it is.

41. I should not be surprised about the white carriage. I am surprised they are not going to charge admitions. They are making this a circus. People MJ was just a human being and not a real king. So why should he be given this over the top ,pompous funeral. Heck it sounds like what Princess Diana had. BUT she was royality, MJ was not.

42. Regardless if it's true or not, that is an exact replica of the hearse at Disneylands Haunted Mansion...google it.

43. Its a big loss for all of us that grew up with his music, may he finally rest and be at peace. Our prays and love go out to him and his family. We'll miss you

44. He should be buried in a monument under the "giving tree". There is a video on UTUBE that tells about an interview he did where he climbed up the tree and told the interviewer that in that "giving tree" he wrote several of his songs and he loved it so much. It shows him sitting in it an being just like a little child in his joy. That would be a great place for him to have his last resting place.
