Michael Jackson’s Funeral Will be Next Week

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson’s funeral won’t be taking place until next week.

The ceremony will be held in Los Angeles. The Staples Center is an option but it hasn’t been decided, TMZ reports.

The Jackson family on Wednesday insisted Michael won’t be buried at his famous Neverland ranch.

“Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland,” a rep for the family said.

“Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”

Jackson, 50, died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Jackson’s will was filed in court.

In the document — dated July 7, 2002 — the tragic King of Pop leaves everything to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, and names John Branca, John McClain and Barry Siegel as co-Executors.

Branca was his lawyer; McClain a music executive; and Siegel was his former accountant, who resigned in 2003.

Beneficiaries of the will are Jackson’s three children: Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7.
