Michael Jackson's Grand Farewell

Posted Jul 7th 2009 12:28AM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson's Grand Farewell Michael Jackson will create even more pandemonium in death than he did in life -- his body will take center stage at Tuesday's public memorial at the Staples Center in downtown L.A.

The family will hold a private memorial early in the morning at Forest Lawn -- where the body is now. The coffin will then be transported to Staples for what promises to be one of the biggest spectacles in L.A. history.

We will be live streaming everything as it happens beginning early in the AM.

32. #20...did you see the hearse back into the hall tiwice? The second time, it looked like they unloaded the hearse instead of putting a casket in. I'm praying the family doesn't use a decoy casket at the memorial service tomorrow. I hate to think of him being paraded around like that.

Can't believe it. The casket would be empty.

43. That isn't the funeral right now. Its probably just a visitation type of service. They just took the body from one area of the cemetery to another and put it into another building.

44. Michael's body was just moved from the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn to a different building on the grounds.

45. TMZ has it wrong again. Michael is being buried at 8 am 2 hours before the actual memorial starts. If your going to post news, make sure you have credited resources. RIP Michael.
