Jackson Bros to Carry the Casket One More Time

Posted Aug 18th 2009 10:15AM by TMZ Staff

Randy Jackson just confirmed to TMZ that he and his brothers will serve as pallbearers at Michael Jackson's burial service.

Here's the message we just received straight from Randy -- " I will be there ... and yes the brothers will carry him from the hearse to the front of the mausoleum."

Randy, his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon were the pallbearers at the Staples Center Memorial last month.

Now, the family is preparing for the private burial which is set to take place August 29 at Glendale Forest Lawn -- on what would have been Michael's 51st birthday.

2. Not sure why the family is announcing this; if they want privacy-this is certainly NOT the way to achieve it

6. Burying him on his birthday just reinforces how truly out of it this family is. And I agree. If you want privacy, keep it private, don't do it on his birthday, when fanatics are bound to be milling around there anyway, since that's where he is.

That they all think this is a wonderful idea is pretty telling.

7. i still can't believe he's gone but now that he is finally being laid to rest, the reality of him no longer being here is sinking in. of course his spirit will live on forever ... i know MJ will now get the peace he so deserved. his fans love him forever and ever...

8. Even though he was in a freezer for the last month and a half, I'm sure that casket will have quite a hum to it.

His brothers will probably be gagging while carrying him.

11. I thought they were Jehovah Witness' and they don't believe in Birthdays. Finally, he will be buried and may he rest in peace. This whole thing has been a circus. Enough already...Perhaps if Jermaine would have kept his nose out of the burial plans this could have been long ago. RIP Michael.

14. While they were all raised Jehovah's witness, Katherine and Rebbie are the only ones that still are.

I am glad they announced it so all of the wild speculation and rumors would be put to rest. Well, at least on this subject.

15. HOW DARE THE JACKSON BROTHERS ATTEMPTS TO BE CARING: It is horrific that the Jackson Brothers did not use their influences to put Michael Jackson in a Medical Rehab Facility, so His Life could have been saved from Addictions and Death. The Jackson Family are the worst Family in the World. And I hope the Jacksons read this Email. You are Enablers for ignoring your Brothers Addictions for the purpose of staying on his Payroll. RIP MICHAEL JACKSON.
