Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 and had two memorial services (public and private) on July 7, 2009.  Both were covered intently by the news' media, but after all that he has of yet to be buried.

Sources originally said that he was to be buried two months after his death, August 29th, which will have been his 51st birthday.

The Jackson family, it's said, are planning on paying for all the funeral expenses including any and all security that might (will) be needed for his future burial.

Where Jackson was to be buried was up in the air for a while too, just  like his memorial services were at the time, but now it has been decided that Forest Lawn Cemetery will be Michael Jackson's final resting place.

This is an early birthday acknowledgement to the King of Pop.  And it will only be a period of time before one sees what day he will be buried - on his birthday, or not.  Either way, he is already missed, with almost more "commotion" than when he was alive.

There is so much up in the air, these past several weeks, concerning his children, their legal guardian, executor to his will, attorneys, doctors, cause of his death, memorial ceremonies, multiple tributes from his acting and musician peers - no telling what is next - but that's the life, and death, of a pop star!
