Jackson Estate to Pay for Burial Costs

Posted Sep 2nd 2009 12:35PM by TMZ Staff

A judge just granted Katherine Jackson's request to have Michael's estate pay for the cost of the singer's burial.

Jeryll Cohen -- a lawyer for the special administrators of Jackson's estate -- said in court today that the expenses for Michael's burial on Thursday are "extraordinary."

But Cohen also said this isn't your run-of-the-mill burial ... and that the administrators "understand and appreciate" the scale of the event.

Jackson will be buried tomorrow in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA.

6. Micheal's personal chef and security guard should all be investigated, everyone was guilty of assisting Dr. Murray murdering Michael.

10. Katherine needs to buy more autos with her share. Of course she would prefer the citizens of LA to pay,this way more monies can stay close to her pocketbook.

13. They should pay for his burial. They are the reason he is dead. They knew he was drugging. It all about the money. I lost all respect for the Jackson family

14. My wife is a state employee and did not get paid because the state of California has no money.

Now why we have to pay for his funeral?

Its not going to be a cheap one? This is total CRAP
