Michael Jackson's body won't go on public display

But singer’s family planning public memorial

Michael Jackson's will has revealed he wanted singer Diana Ross to care for his kids, if his mum wasn't able to

Michael Jackson's body will not lie in state at his Neverland ranch.

It was thought the singer would be placed in a glass coffin so fans could pay their respects before a family funeral.

'Contrary to news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland,' says a spokesman.

But the family is organising a tribute event. 

'Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson and we will announced those plans shortly,' says the spokesman. 

‘He will be buried not cremated,’ says family lawyer Brian Oxman.

‘His mum Katherine is a Jehovah's Witness and despite claims Michael had converted to Islam he was one too.’
