Some fans from these forums had called Glendale and ordered flowers to be put on MJ's grave, those flowers were paid for and the fans were told that they would be put on the grave. If MJ is no there, I wonder where those flowers went and why they took those fans' money.
good point..I remember this.
well, if he is dead, he is probably not buried at FL. the family wouldn't tell the whole world where his body is. and since no one has visited the grave at FL...either he is dead and not buried there, or he is alive.
either way, he is not there.
Oh yes I realise that but why would they take people's money under false pretences - I can understand them being non-committal but to actually take money is a bit much.
So the family bought 12 plots for a reason - I did think it was really cheeky to use MJ's money for the whole family's plots. But If they approached forest lawn and asked if they could say that MJ was there. To deal with the inconvenience and the onslaught of fans etc they purchased 12 plots- works for me!
Probably Forest Lawn have answered correctly. Maybe no one has asked if he is actually buried there just whether or not he has a tomb there. As for the flowers from the fans that is nothing to do with forest lawn. Fans ring the florist who deliver to address given. Forest lawn place flowers on appropriate grave/tomb.
The filming looked like it was Culver studios, the missing building, the difference in the pathways etc. so literally forest lawn was a good place to say he is as you cannot just walk in there. He has done it so the fans will not go (they cant get in) so they will not be crying over an empty grave.
@LucyLocket. What did you ask them and what did they reply? I see you are not the original poster. When did you email them? Thankyou please.
I'm so sorry, DancingTheDream... I was speaking of the original poster's email and the reply that was received. I didn't email them. Sorry for the confusion!
well, I did, I wrote them and after 24hrs I received answer.
I was asking if there's any possibility to enter to the Great Mausoleum.
After reading here yesterday, that "Michael Jackson is not interred there" I was full of hopes. But - according to what I received - he is. It was my private email and 'cause I'm confused now, I won't quote it here... only:
Mr. Michael Jackson's interment location is also private and is not available to the public.
I know - this is sth we knew from the very beginning, but yesterday it was called "he's not interred there", today it's his "interment location"...
I really... You know, my heart is telling me to keep the faith... but this jeff - the fireman story from yesterday, email from Forest Lawn... It's just too much for me, you know, it's like going through June 25th over and over again and I don't know how much more I can take <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
I am confused.
I told someone else, and they emailed too. Forest Lawn replied "Mr. Michael jackson is interred" but when she wrote "Is Michael Jackson d.o.b. 08-29-1958 interred at Forrest Lawn?" they replied "When a family has a service at Forest Lawn, they can request that those services be classified as PUBLIC or PRIVATE. When the services are classified as PRIVATE we do not release any information regarding those services. I hope that this information is of use to you."
well, I did, I wrote them and after 24hrs I received answer.

Was this a direct quote from FL????? Did they say MJ was or wasn't interred at FL?????? If it was a general comment, "Mr. Michael Jackson's interment location is also private and is not available to the public" could imply that the family did decide to bury him at Neverland....which, of course, would explain the concrete trucks. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a private gathering at Neverland and posed the entire thing at FL (or a set to look like FL) to throw everyone off.
However, in reality, it all sounds too hocus pocus to be true at all. I still feel he is alive somewhere---hopefully enjoying his freedom and peace.
I wrote to Forrest Lawn and they replied. i am very confused to how they know my name also <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->

Subject: Question..
Is Michael Jackson interred at Forest Lawn? Please answer honestly.
Okay. This is like proof right here. If he isn't there, then where is he??? <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
Also, Did anyone realize that Forrest Lawn wasn't involved in the funeral? all of the ushers were Michael's backup dancers. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
Given the fact we have all seen a tomb. Yes Michael Jackson has a tomb at Forest Lawn but he has not been interred there- simple. So when flowers are sent yes they are going to his tomb, but he is not in it!!
The people who asked questions previously asked about his grave not whether or not he had been buried there.
Good point! That makes a lot of sense and could be why everyone is getting different answers to their inquiries.
I couldn't help myself...I wrote an email to them as well...this is what I wrote:
To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is
and I am writing this email in response to an email I saw posted online. In the email someone asks a representative of Forest Lawn if Mr. Michael Jackson is interred at Forest Lawn, in which the answer was that he was not.
Is Mr. Michael Jackson's body interred at one of your facilities, if not, do you know where his body rests? From what I have seen of his funeral on the Internet, it was serene and your facilities are amazingly beautiful. Did one of your facilities participate in Mr. Michael Jackson's funeral preparations?
I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my email, I am sure you are inundated with inquiries of this sort. I am searching for some peace of mind and I am anticipating your reply. Mr. Michael Jackson is sorely missed.
Much appreciation,
I hope I covered everything and I hope they write back...if they do I will share
I also wanted to say that a while back there was a rumor going around that neverland had an order for a very large amound of concrete to be delivered. I don't know how true this is or what it means.
I just called FL and I asked to speak to Jasmin Martinez. The gentleman who answered the phone told me that she worked out of their business office and was not in but should return at 8 a.m. He offered to give me her voice mail at which time I just responded with a polite Thank You but told him that my schedule tomorrow was full and that I would just try to call her back when I had a free moment.
For me this confirms that a person with this name does work for them.

In one responce Jasmin specifically says that "Mr. Michael Jackson is not interred at Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks in California." Then another whoever responded back specifically says "Mr. Michael Jackson's interment location is also private and is not available to the public.". WTH? Is he or isn't he interred at Forest Lawn? One person says one thing and another say the opposite. Does one hand know what the others doing? Michael's either: dead and not buried at FL, buried at FL, or alive. Which one is it?

Hello everyone.. I recieved my return email today. I don't know what to think. I'll post it anyway. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
Ms.
,
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Mr. Michael Jackson was entombed at our Glendale location, at 1712 S. Glendale Ave., Glendale, CA 91205, in the Great Mausoleum. This is an area that is restricted to the public. At Forest Lawn, we respect the wishes of all families we serve and the privacy of all decedents interred on our grounds.
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
I copied and pasted this from my email...I deleted my name, obviously...I could have just as easily deleted "was" and changed it to "was not"...I'm honest and don't like to be played with. I hope that is not what the orriginal poster did. <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->

That's what I think too, I think they don't give information to others if he's really there, also to avoid an invasion of fans.

If it should not be an invasion, then the family would have still Undisclosed
