X17 XCLUSIVE - Michael's Family Wants Him Buried At Neverland!
Posted on Wed Jul 8, 2009 07:30 AM PDT
Sources tell X17online that the Jackson family is still hoping for a permit from Santa Barbara county to allow them to bury Michael at Neverland. In order to bury Jackson on the property, the family would need to get permission from local land-use officials and submit an application and paperwork with the state Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. The state application would then need to be approved by the funeral board, a process that could take anywhere from seven to 30 days.
Though we're sure the Jacksons could pull a few strings to expedite the process, Thomas Barrack, the co-owner of Neverland, supposedly sought an exemption to bury the singer at the ranch, and it's unclear whether or not he's willing to change his mind.
If Michael is buried at Neverland, it would essentially become the modern-day Graceland, and many believe it's the only logical place to bury the pop legend. I mean, could the Jackson family REALLY bury Michael at Forest Lawn? Think of all the families who have loved ones at that cemetery - wouldn't it turn the cemetery into a shrine for the king of pop and overwhelm the infrastructure there? And then there's the whole security issue too...
Maybe the fans should vote? Neverland makes so much sense, and we get the impression Michael would want to be buried there...
Where do you think Michael should be buried?
