 while i do hope that the casket is closed, i think having it there will help to bring a sense of finality to all of this. to his life, his career, to the worldwide mourning, the media hoopla, etc. at the moment, it's all just a little unreal and in some ways still unbelievable. it IS a funeral/memorial service after all, not a rock concert. having the casket there will make it more real. more somber, also, but it can be an important part of the grieving process for a lot of people. | |

| Can't believe it. Just saw the casket too.
Please let it remain closed at the memorial service! I can't handle an open casket at all. I hate funerals for one and almost everytime I've gone to one, I have avoided looking at the body. Today is no exception. I don't want to see and I don't want people gawking over Michael and haters & others making stupid, low class comments about his appearence. Let him die with some dignity. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

Michael gave alot of money to Joyner's efforts through the years and Joyner has a very respectful (on and off-air) relationship with that family. It's not unreasonable that he has a line of communication to the family, either directly or via a mutual business colleague or friend in the Jackson family's presence even at this difficult time. There are, in fact, several members of the Jacksons' familial and friend circle who have permission to speak on their behalf certain to American press outlets from within the Jackson compound in Encino. If you listened to certain American radio stations you would know this already.  . They've been very open with having their family and legal reps call in to give udates to long-standing friends in the media. some of it clinical and cold, and other interviews very poignant with the appropriate amount of info on the family's personal status right now. Just sayin'...As I said How the hell does he know ? Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

About time he gets laid to rest. I'm so cool on Al Sharpton,Jessie Jackson and Joe Jackson. They've been Shuckin and Jivin non stop for almost 2 weeks. Some people acting like MJ is going to jump out the casket and perform a medley of hits. Oh well, let the circus continue. May you RIP..Michael | |

funny you feel that way, actually Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Joe have all been getting on my last nerves. Why all of a sudden is Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson the so-called spokespeople for the Jacksons? Where were they when Michael was on trial? Exactly. Now all of a sudden they all up in the media over this??? Anywho, I'll be watching the memorial, the only other thing irrirating me is how the media is asking why Prince has said anything, or why Prince hasn't confirmed he's going to be at the memorial? i mean really, is it any of there business???? Shut up already, damn. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Skynews are saying the family wanted MJ to be laid to rest at Neverland but the law does not allow this ....strange, he still owns half of it right?
Damn a man works hard all his life and can't be laid to rest on his own land...wtf? Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

I know that the fans want to pay their respects,but having the casket their I think is just asking for trouble,cause you know there is going to be some crazy ass fan that is going to try to get to it.

Especially when his organs have been removed from autopsy:-( That doesn't matter. It happens all of the time where they have an open casket after an autopsy has been performed. The subject is cut from behind (generally down the back) to perform an autopsy. As long as the face and head is in tact, you can have an open casket.

Damn a man works hard all his life and can't be laid to rest on his own land...wtf? correct. on very rare occassions can people be buried outside of a cemetery. Elvis was first buried in a cemetery until there were threats to steal the body. He'd have to be cremated if they want him at Neverland. [Edited 7/7/09 9:21am] 12/05/2011

Well, we'll have to see if they have an open casket, but I'm hoping they won't, Not because I'm freaked by open caskets but this "funeral" is taking place nearly 2 wks after his death.
I wish they'd not have done this, but that's how it's gonna be. [Edited 7/7/09 9:25am] | |

Especially when his organs have been removed from autopsy:-( even during the embalming process, the organs are removed. i won't give further details (except to say that they put them back in) because as i was typing it out i realized that it was morbid and inappropriate. but every body you've seen in a casket has had its organs removed at some point. | |

CalhounSq said: Michael said in an interview that we should all be like Jesus, innocent and child-like. Do you guys feel that Michael's ability to stir so many people to love him/his creativity draws parallels between him and Jesus.

Stevie Wonder will reportedly be singing "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" , Jennifer Hudson will be singing "Will You Be There" and Jermaine Jackson will be singing "Smile". At least this is what CNN says."And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ
