Jackson in Motown Crypt
As Michael Jackson's family squabble over what to do with his brain-less remains, they have stashed the King of Pop's body in a crypt owned by Motown record label founder Berry Gordon, the New York Post reports. At least, the gold-plated casket is in a nice neighborhood—the Gordon family crypt is located in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills. Next door to Jackson's temporary digs is the grave of actress Sandra Dee. Bette Davis and Liberace can be found nearby as well. Half of Jackson's family wants to bury the singer in Neverland, hoping to recreate a Graceland-like resting place for the star. The other half wants to follow his wishes to never to return to the ranch after Jackson was acquitted of child-molestation charges.

It's Berry Gordy, not Gordon.
The Beast's proof-readers are VERY, VERY bad.
And that's an understatement.
Good grief.
His life was a circus, his death was a circus, and now his burial is becoming a circus.
Didn't anyone care enough for this poor, hag-ridden man to let him rest in peace?

Neverland is owned by billionaire Thomas Barrack and Michael Jackson in a joint venture. The details about how much is still owned by Jackson isn't available.
Btw, in order to be buried on private property in California, you must have your property officially classified a cemetery. That means sending an application to the State Cemetery and Funerals Bureau, with property maps, proof of ownership, and a statement from the local zoning board that it's OK to bury someone there. The process can take up to 60 days & costs about $400. However, his cremated remains could be scattered at Neverland without any special permits whatsoever. Hopefully the Jackson family will honor his wishes to never return to Neverland again.
Perhaps a shrine at their home in Gary, Indiana is more appropriate than one in the pretty little town of Lost Almost (I mean, Los Olivos...)!

Rest his soul in the City of Lights, at the Père Lachaise Cemetery next to Jim Morrison.
Please tell the interns not to use Spell Check on people's names...lol
