Jackson Family -- The Burial After-Party

Posted Sep 3rd 2009 12:10PM by TMZ Staff

MIchael JacksonTMZ has learned the Jackson family has an after-party scheduled to begin right after Michael Jackson's funeral tonight -- a party they're calling a "Celebration of Life."

The family will go straight from the Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale to a place called Villa Sorriso Ristorante -- an Italian joint in Pasadena.

The restaurant's Executive Director of Operations has confirmed that Randy Jackson made the reservation several days ago and "bought out the facility for the night."

The exec also tells us several members of the Jackson family have been regulars at the place for years.

We're told the restaurant is expecting around 275-300 people to attend.

13. Well isnt that what everyone does.. you remember the fun and good things of your dead loved one... not their death. Im sure there will be laughing and crying all at the same time. Thats is what is done at family funerals. Espicially if they are Jehovah's Witnesses. They dont have wakes nor do they have drunken festivals. They have very nice dinners and every one talks of all the fun memories of the decedent. I just hope TMZ and all the other tabloid creeps have some class and leave these people alone! Mostly the kids!! Let them finish the grieving process... for them it is almost over!!

14. What a great man, he LOVED THE WORLD WITH ALL HIS HEART, it was an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and he really wanted to HEAL IT, STOP WARS and DESTRUCTION and have people find a common ground IN LOVE and GOODNESS and SHARING !

Michael, you were too good for this world, for the people here, for the decadence of the community around us. You are finally up with the angels, where you belong, may you RIP ! We will do our best to CARRY ON YOUR LOVE and SELFLESSNESS and teach it to our little ones.

15. People he cared for abused his trust deceived him, his father abused him verbally and physically; and then worst of all the media/press raped and stripped him of his dignity publicly and hounded him mercilessly. And through it all he smiled!

I wonder how many of us would withstand the same introspection into our lives and how we would handle the pain. Before we case stones at MJ maybe we should imagine ourselves in his life and ask ourselves how would we manage it? How would we escape the pain?
