MICHAEL JACKSON29. Michael Jackson will be buried on Aug. 29, the date that would have been his 51st birthday, publicists for the Jackson family said on Tuesday morning in a news release. The announcement confirms remarks made earlier this week by Mr. Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, who said in interviews that the singer would be laid to rest on that date.
In its release, the publicity firm Sunshine, Sachs & Associates said that Michael Jackson would be buried on Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, at Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. The release said that the burial ceremony would private and limited to the Jackson family and close friends, but that there would be nearby accommodations for the news media. The Jackson family added that it “once again wishes to express its gratitude to Michael’s fans around the world for their support during these difficult times.”
The Associated Press reported that on that day, the filmmaker Spike Lee would hold a block party-style celebration in Brooklyn to commemorate Mr. Jackson’s birthday, and that the date would be declared “Michael Jackson Day” by the Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz at the event.
Mr. Jackson died on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest, though the Los Angeles County coroner’s office has not yet released the results of its investigation into his death. The singer was honored at a public memorial held on July 7 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.By Dave Itzkoff
