47. 16. Has anyone asked his children what their thoughts are. Their thoughts should be considered. May-be the funeral should be private for the childres sake. They are not use to the media circus. Just a thought.

48. Didn't he convert to Islam recently? How are they gonna bury him? Like some1 said, he's been dead for almost a week now... they should make up their mind quickly.

49. Right, Neverland would be like Graceland ... with MJ on permanent display in a glass coffin. Egad.

50. MJ did not ever go back to NLR after the trials. He didn't want to go back there. Why in the world would his family drag his body to a place they surely knew he didn't want to be? Bad, bad judgment on their part.

51. Oh No, there go my weekend plans.
I just reserved a room at Motel 6 in Los Olivos for $400 a night.
I heard Elton John was going to sing a special memorial song:
"don't let your son go down on me"

52. They should bury Michael @ Neverland and make it a museum for him. Replace the rides that were once there, add a petting zoo and some of the larger animals. He loved kids and I'm sure this would make a lot of children happy. They could charge 30.00 a person and make well enough money to keep it up. People would come from all over the world. This way people can always pay their respects to him and also be close to him.

54. I had heard that since his body is mainly plastic that he was going to be melted down and made into Legos so that little boys could play with him for a change.

56. I've seen the footage from comment #46 previously. Tells you how biased the media is on a regular basis.......MJ needs to be buried somewhere it will not be defaced or luted........but Neverland should be MJ's graceland.............give his legacy what it deserves............give him the peace he could never find in life................he just wanted to go play with the other children............we the public made him the recluse..............let others find the joy he was trying to share

57. Sick to death of hearing about this pedophile! He needs to be tied to a tree and have his private parts removed and used as an example to other pedophiles!!

58. I am guessing Santa Barbara officials pleaded with the family to not hold public viewing at Neverland, the logistics of traffic and safety along small country roads is impossible...My guess, Staples Center for public viewing, and private ceremony at Neverland.

59. MJ should not be buried at Neverland. It is too remote (three hours from LA, right?) and the surrounding infrastructure is not equipped to handle the massive, never-ending stream of fans who will trek there. No access by public transportation. The public viewing should not be held there either. It will be like Woodstock: thousands of people, no bathrooms (hello, port-o-potties), no indoor facilities to treat fhe hundreds of people alling out from heatstroke. It will be madness! Plus, it's not fair to the neighbors who pay mucho bucks to live in such a tranquil place.

The viewing should be held at Staples Cente on Friday and a public funeral should be held there Saturday. Very accesible, plenty of facilities such as bathrooms, first aid stations, and accomodates lthousands of people. His many fans deserve a service to mourn him. Then the body should be taken to Neverland for the family's private funeral Sunday.

Then MJ should be buried in Gary, Indiana. A museum can be built and a crypt can be put on the grounds. The city can use the tourism dollars. The money could even revive the entire state's economy!.

PLEASE, SOMEONE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE FAMILY TALK SOME SENSE INTO THEM!!! NOTHING AT NEVERLAND!

60. why didnt the family take him to the arena where he was rehersing his up coming performance? the parking the room inside would have been a better place. this is not the circus he would have wanted , and why neverland??? so many sad memeories there overshadow his good memories ..................
