MJ's casket...

[inv22]

It might sound stupid, but…

I don’t know why, but I wanted the MJ's casket to be half-opened, as it was done at James Brown's funeral at Apollo.

I desperately wanted to see his beautiful face for the last time... ;(

What about you guys?

But on the other hand, maybe it was right for the casket to be NOT opened, simply to make the memorial more dignified and to avoid sensationalism and media frenzy…

By the way, his golden-like coffin and flowers looked beautiful

RIP my king, my friend...

POLAND loves you...

you summed it up pretty well right there. i';m glad they never opened it up, its alot more respecful that way.

i wanted to see him

[MJ*PP]

you can look at him as much as you want. last taken pictures

[risky]

i dont think he would have looked the same, when they are dead they never look the same. and then you could have even got reports sayin is that mj in the coffin could he still be alive? you see james brown, he didnt look like him at all, even my own aunt didnt look the same. death just does something to the body, and it just dont look like them. thankful it was closed

I'm so glad it wasn't opened.

[GeorgeDK]

I'm happy it was closed...

[Seeress]

^Me too.

[dangerous_88]

i want to know how he was dressed...

[MZrules]

I am so happy it was closed. Thinking about what some people would have most likely done with a photo absolutely breaks my heart. Very glad that was not able to happen and that Michael was able to have that privacy.

[inv22]

yeah, you are right guys, now when I think of all this chaos, I am happy it was closed too

[xrisamj81]

I agree,I wanted to see him for the last time....his beautiful face.....just one last time.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!

[lovealways]

Same here.

I would have loved, (even tho it would have probably caused me to have some sort of attack of some kind) to have seen him. See what he was wearing, how beautiful i'm sure he looked.. BUT.. I give that up. I give up those selfish wants, knowing that the press, the media, the photogs that spent so many time picking him and his pictures apart. Altering his looks, countless hours and terrible things said, I give up my desire of wanting to have seen him, in exchange for knowing that they (the jerks) will NEVER get that shot that they were so hungry for.
