The Memorial service for Michael Jackson is finally scheduled at the Staples Centre Arena, Los Angeles, after his will surfaced, putting to rest all speculations that Neverland Ranch was the concluding choice. The Service will take place on July 7th, Tuesday, in two sittings starting at 10 in the morning, Pacific Time, and 12 noon, with a raffle approach being employed to facilitate distribution of tickets. The Staples centre was apparently the place where Jackson was last seen rehearsing on the June 23 for his upcoming comeback concert tour in UK.
A total of 17, 500 tickets in the offing through an online draw system for the Jackson memorial service, with 11,000 tickets for those who will be attending the service live from Staples, 6,500 tickets are for the concurrent telecast on wide screens at the close by Nokia Theatre, with the service being showed online. Jackson’s cadaver will not be at display and no funeral procession will take place during the service taking place at Staples Centre.
A reportedly $25,000 custom made coffer made of bronze with 14 karat gold plating on it has been enjoined for Michael, though the details of the funeral arrangements are still kept under wraps. There has been a subsequent augment in security at the Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills mortuary where Jackson’s body is being held. Huge security operations got on track with the venue being cordoned off prior to the event and nearly 2000 police officials being asked to report for duty on the due day. Though no clear picture has emerged regarding the expenses involved and eventual financier of the memorial service.
It emerges that Jackson’s parents will be the final authority to decide the manner in which Michael’s funeral arrangements will unfold as he was divorced and his children are minors. Unless Jackson has specifically mentioned the manner to carry out the last rites in his will or a power of attorney to carry out his will.
A crazed frenzy to win the tickets led to nearly 5,24,000 applicants that lead to a server crash at the staplescenter.com site in its initial minutes.
