Jackson burial to be delayed further?

LONDON - Pop legend Michael Jackson died June 25, but almost two months after his death he hasn’t found his resting place. He was expected to be buried Aug 29, but it could again be heading for a date change.
The King of Pop’s burial Aug 29 could have coinciding with what would have been his 51st birthday. But reports suggest that this will be pushed back by a couple of days, with the family needing more time to sort out the arrangements, reported mirror.co.uk.
The singer’s final resting place will be the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angles. It boasts of a mausoleum with replicas of the work of Renaissance greats, including Michelangelo’s David and Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper recreated in stained glass.
Earlier, it was reported that Jackson was laid to rest without any hoopla at the Forest Lawn Cemetery, but his mother moved his body to a secret freezer because she was terrified crazy fans will snatch it.
Jackson’s father had announced a few days ago that the singer will be finally buried at 10 a.m. Aug 29, but now it too seems unlikely.
