This link goes to the page regarding the memorial tablets (grave markers) at Forest Lawn Glendale. On questions 13 you will notice that it says that permanent markers take 6 to 10 weeks for completion but that a temporary marker will be placed for up to 90 days by FL until the permanent one arrives. Now unless I am reading this incorrectly, I understand that to say that the cemetary requires permanent marker within 90 days time. Am I reading wrong or do you take it the same way? Also, does anyone recall if there was ever a temporary marker placed on the supposed crypt?
13. Question: How long before the memorial tablet is placed?
Answer: It takes approximately 6-10 weeks after the final approval has been received, the placement fee paid, and manufacturing is completed before a Memorial Tablet is placed. Special emblems, designs, and sketches may take longer. A temporary tablet may be placed for up to 90 days and then replaced once your permanent Memorial Tablet is ready.

Good eye kdkennedy74
I think the key word here is "may be placed" - i dont think its a requirement.
Thats how i read it anyways. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
oh, i know you are not arguing! Dont worry. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
The question you ask is the million dollar question! No-one seems to know why the crypt is un-marked and the family never address the issue!
You make a great point. We haven't seen recent pictures to know for sure. "If", and I say that loosely, Michael ever plans on being buried there they may have a plaque with his name. However, the give away would be that the DOD won't be there and that is why I believe we still don't have a plaque engraved.
Blessings.
I agree with you. I don't think this is a requirement, but simply the notion that FL will contribute a temporary tablet until a permanent one is complete. I'm also pretty sure that there are other unmarked graves at FL, so unfortunately I don't think this is proof of Michael not being there.
