After a long wait, the Jackson family has finally decided the date and venue of Michael Jackson’s burial. Jacko’s family confirmed through a statement issued on Tuesday that the deceased King of Pop will be laid to rest in Los Angeles on August 29.

Here’s the original statement as reported by Fox News,

Michael Jackson will be laid to rest at Holly Terrace in the Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA on Saturday, August 29, 2009, at 10:00 AM PST, on what would have been his 51st birthday. The private ceremony will be limited to family and close friends.


Ever since his sudden and mysterious death on June 25, the venue of Jacko’s burial has remained a hot topic among his fans and even in tabloid press. Jacko’s Neverland Ranch was the other hot favorite venue, but the latest statement by his family has ruled out the possibility of a Neverland burial for Jacko.
