While there has been no plan made by Michael Jackson's family on his funeral, TMZ reports that a rare design coffin called Promethean has been ordered to bury the late music performer's body. The coffin is said to be made of solid bronze, but is 14-carat gold-plated, with a hand-polished mirror finish and a flame blue velvet interior.
Still according to TMZ, the coffin costs US$25,000. The stuff has been ordered from America's Batesville Casket Company on July 1. The coffin, which is identical to the one used to bury late R 'n' B performer James Brown back in 2006, is claimed as extremely rare.
In the meantime, preparations are undergoing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where memorial service for Michael will be held at 10 A.M. Tuesday, July 7. Some workers are photographed setting up signs in front of the building ahead of the highly anticipated service.
A total of 17,500 free tickets will be handed to public for them to be able to attend the event. People who want to get the free tickets must log in to StaplesCenter.com, where registry has been opened beginning Friday morning, July 3 until Saturday evening at 6 P.M.

Because if he's body was in the coffin why did thay not open it like thay did for james brown in 2006
Was michael body in the coffin at the staples centre or had thay took it out before
Poor U Mike, may u rest in peace, Insya'ALLAH.
Happened once here. S'one buried in a VERY XPENSIVE COFFIN. Follg morning, they found his body left exposed minus his coffin and all other offerings that went into it! If he is a muslim, burial need be very simple.. nothing on him except wrapped in white cloth..
It's not abt confusing on how MJ's shld be buried. He chose to convert to Muslim, a RELIGION, on his own will. He has a bro who hv converted to Islam, but why is he not looking into this matter? Does that means that MJ shld be buried, not according to religion, just bcos he's a POPSTAR? I am a fan of MJ myself. I am seriously upset abt tis matter & I BELIEVE, SO DOES MANY OTHER MUSLIM FANS OUT THERE! And how he's being treated now, is no different from how he was treated by his family members when he was alive.. Moga ALLAH rahmati roh nya.. Insya-Allah..
MJ is a muslim. I think the public should respect that. If they want him to REST IN PEACE with Allah, they should do it the Islam way of burial. Whatever they are doing now, are only going to make him suffer more.. Allahu Akhbar..
the happiness he could not find when he was alive i hope he finds it now that he,s gone,the world will surely miss him REST IN PEACE MJ.
Muslims are generally buried in Islamic tradition, but maybe M.J won't be..It's not confusing, just the way things happen sometimes..like why muslims use bad language ie Aisha with her filthy mouth is really a disgrace, but we all need guidance in life, and in matters like burial, etc.
i always love what Michael Jackson always want to say, Peace in the world wild this is the message he want every one to know and help each other in good things always… waleed64 Bahrain
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.
i have to poo
May your spirit flow free to heaven as your music flowed from your kind and gentle voice,finally be at peace<I feel like I have known him my whole life, the year he was discovered I was only 1yrs old and I will have him in my heart always xoxo michael we love you more.
TO MICHAEL JACKSON: May you rest in peace and your family find peace and closure in your death. You will be ultimately missed and appreciated. Your music and talent will live on forever from decade to decade and will never be forgotten. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL AND MISS YOU GREATLY. Maybe I can stop crying now. PEACE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!
there will NEVER be another geniune performer like our KING OF POP-MR. MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON. He was and always will be the benchmark of what artistic excellence is all about!! R.I.P. MICHAEL- LONG LIVE THE KING!!!~
goood bye MICHAEL JACKSON we will miss you.......... (kingdom of bahrain)
In Islam, Using a coffin is up to the will.But,attraction given by jewellery on a coffin to be buried as if contesting and showing off is not regarded as the right.If Michael Jackson`s coffin has been ordered already and his wear as burial costume has been designed ,then I only understand one that he will not be buried in Islamic style.
i love u and i will miss u .
Its really unbelievable and also foolish for people to say that Michael Jackson being a Muslim and be buried in Islamic ritual. What has religion to do with it? Please allow Micheal to be in peace now.

Michael Jackson was a rare talent. My prayers are with his family. However, his father should remain silent especially when it comes to telling the truth. He disgraced Michael in every way possible
A gold plated coffin advertised to the world? That's really stupid. In this economy, how long do you think it's gonna take for some jobless dudes to dig him out and steal his coffin?
He deserve any thing i love him not matter what viva por siempre michael jackson y Dios lo cuide donde este.rest in peace with God letticia r
is7t true that michael is muslim.And his funeral will do in islam?
is michael jackson will do in islam.
