Michael Jackson’s burial postponed until September 3rd

New York: Michael Jackson won`t be laid to rest on what would have been his 51st birthday after all.

A spokesman for the Jackson family says the King of Pop`s funeral has been postponed until Sept 3, five days after the singer`s birthday. Spokesman Ken Sunshine, in a statement Friday, offered no reason for the delay. Jackson`s family had planned a private daytime service for Aug 29. The pop superstar will now be interred in The Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn-Glendale at a private evening ceremony. The cemetery is spread over several hills on land roughly 8 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The mausoleum includes a stained-glass replica of Leonardo da Vinci`s "The Last Supper" and replicas of Michelangelo`s statues. Bureau Report
