A funeral suit is being designed by Los Angeles-based costume designers, Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, for the late Michael Jackson. Access Hollywood is the first to run the story, yet the site gives no further details of the reported costume. It is only revealed that both designers have worked with Michael in the last 20 years and had been designing costumes for his planned "This Is It" concert series in London.
The news comes in the wake of confirmation made by Michael's family that memorial service will be held to remember his career and life. The service will be staged inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 10 A.M. Tuesday, July 7.
Organizers of the memorial have confirmed a total of 17,500 free tickets will be handed to public for them to be able to attend the event. 11,000 entrants will have the chance to go inside the building, while the remaining 6,500 will be ushered to watch from across the street at the Nokia Center, which will be filled with huge-screen TVs streaming the live affair.
At the time of writing, there has been no further detail shared with the press regarding the service. Funeral plans also haven't been made public by the Jacksons.

We Love And miss You Michael jackson R.I.P
To me and many others Michael Jackson will forever be known as Short Eyes. His music may have his name destined for a "pop" region of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, my personal distain for the self proclaimed “king of pop”, will forever link him with other nefarious characters of dubious distinction.
funeral suit?he's going to have an Islamic burial.isn't he?anyway,God bless him!
que descanse em paz

mj should be buried to his neverland ranch and not to a public mortuary, where lot of people will pay tribute to him and some graves sites will be steps in and disturbed.he deserved his own space on earth bec he was one of a kind. there will not be another michael jeckson in th entire universe. we are making a history here so i hope the new owner of the ranch is kind enough to mj that ranch be his final resting place. money is not everything but good deed, good consciene is something.
i will miss micheal he was the king of pop. i hope the fans get to view his body one more time . i think your brother would want that to. i will pray for the jackson family .
funeral suit? there was another article on this site saying that michael became muslim last year and that he will have an islamic burial. if that's true, then why are they making a "funeral suit"? muslims are wrapped in white cloth. ok, now im REALLY confused. someone please answer

R.I.P. MJ,this has been the longest week of my life. My world has stood still as I mourn over you. I love you so much and will cherish the 40 years GOD gave me of you. King Michael you are now with the king of all Kings, "to be absent from the the body is to present with the LORD"
I sat here watching many good videos, pictures, and reading fb; music to my ears. Thanks for everything! Allah may guide you MJ...
I have been a Michael Jackson fan. I am from Iran. I would like to send my deep condolences out to the Jackson family. Michael's music will live in our hearts forever. I will truly miss Michael. Dear Michael, rest in permanent peace. I know that God loves you and you have a wonderful and excellent new life wherever you are now.
we will be me missing you r.i.p in peace michael jackson you are with god now. your family is in my prayers.
pleeeaaasssee!!!! i need just one ticket. This is how I will remember this Entertainer! I am only 7 years older than MJ but it seem I knew him all my life. Even though I long stop listening to his music I never stop loving my big brother Michael Jackson. Tis world has said some awful things about him that I have never believed and never will; his only crime was he had a big heart in his child like manner that some folks never ever understood! God bless you my brother, your journey on this side is over! Entertain the Lord!
