After a prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith and a gospel sung by Gladys Knight, Clifton Davis performed the Jackson 5 song he wrote, ???Never Can Say Goodbye.??? Jackson???s father Joseph and the Rev. Al Sharpton addressed the mourners, as did close friends and family.

After the ceremony, the brothers carried the casket to the Grand Mausoleum, where at 9:43 p.m. Jackson entered his final resting place.


The intimate ceremony was quite low-key as compared to the public memorial service at Los Angeles??? Staples Center and was attended by the Jackson family members, including his parents, brothers and sisters and three children. Lisa Marie Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Macaulay Culkin, Chris Tucker and Mila Kunis were among the close friends who attended the ceremony.

So finally, with the mystery surrounding his death and the paternity of his children still hovering in the air, the King of Pop enters his final resting place.
