Folks,
It has been quite good and interesting to read all the posts from many of you in this thread! Thank you for sharing your ideas on it. I truly appreciate it. I respect the way many of you see his passing and the ideas you have for his final place.
Yes, I know that many of you would love to visit his grave. I understand that and I respect that very much!
As someone mentioned in the another threat, Michael’s feet, moves, face, everything in him had a meaning to us all and it will always have, no matter how much time will pass after he's gone. We will continue to love him, to think of him, to remember him... we are fans!
It is not right to put him in an unmarked place. Very UNFAIR! I hope they won't do that but show some respect instead, and I hope that article is somewhat false.
I wanted to read your opinions on his final resting place and I’m glad they were differently, because people are entitled to have different opinions on things and things not always match but they can be different in certain ways and it’s still good to share them. It’s ok. I respect that because I did listen to their opinions as well.
My Views:
Maybe it’s already a bit too late to jump back to these thread about his final resting place, but I wish to say a few words on it before it disappears from the board.
I believe, based on what Michael has said in his interviewers and based on how he was concerning himself, that Michael would not want his body to be put under hundreds of dirty sand and concrete. He wanted to live forever, as he mentioned, but not only in the spiritual sense of that idea but also in the physical sense. His vanity explains it all.
I respect other people’s opinion but I keep mine in what I said. His "final and peaceful resting place", in my opinion would not mean burying or cremating him. With lucky they used that excuse of an unmarked place to keep his body preserved someplace else instead of burial. But I have doubts of that will happen. I have only hope!
I just know he would not want to bury in the soil or under concrete. He would want his body to be preserved. He would not want to become a "destination" for his fans to visit him just to adore him and make marketing from his dead body. What would they gain from that?
Some people could say,
"Wow I visited MJ's grave today, it was an amazing experience"
But How Proud they all should feel with that ?
I know I would NOT, while thinking that Michael’s body was deteriorating under the soil…
I would prefer Michael's body to be preserved in the condition that still it is now, rather then seeing him being destroyed and buried under hundreds of concrete.
Burial increases deterioration, and then the body becomes putrefied, and then later becomes only a skeleton in the casket. Burial is something that destroys the body remains of what can be preserved. Burial makes no sense at all, and it’s odd! Cremation is even worse. It’s creepy. It’s disturbing. Sorry folks, but it reminds me of people from an ancient era, who had no access to technology and lived in ignorance.
I could never agree with that thing. It scares me. That's my opinion and my decision. I respect other people decision and their beliefs. I really do. I don’t want to argue with that because people are entitled to different opinions, different religions, different faiths. I know and I respect that, even if I don't agree.
I chose not to live in a fantasy world but rather in a real world. In a real world dead people become a skeleton, nothing it’s left from his current body except ashes. Unfortunately, burial it's what I believe that will take place in his case if not already took...
my sadness it’s beyond words can express…
Elvis's reminders
I’m an Elvis fan as well. His body was buried and it’s only bones and ashes in his grave, his body it’s not there anymore. It was deceased by time and it was destroyed. Is it that what will happen to our Michael? I saw people visiting Graceland and spending hours staring at his grave, crying over his old memories, it’s so sad to think that they are actually contemplating an empty casket with ashes in it. How romantic or nostalgic would that be? It’s all in the mind of the visitors but I respect that. If that make them feel better, so be it. But he is not there. That is a fact. Physically speaking , it’s a fantasy world. Just something that gives them a false idea that he’s still here, or there, under the soil, when in fact he’s not, not even his body it’s there anymore. His body it’s gone. That’s one of the reasons it would have been s better if Elvis’s body was still maintained intact until today, preserved in a refrigerated morgue or frozen, like his heart and brain still are, which were removed during the autopsy, and are in storage at Baptist Medical Center in Memphis until today. Preserving the body would allow others to see him as the time goes by, visit him, keeping his DNA and his cells preserved. Why not? That would not infringe any rules or religion. What’s so scary about that? As Michael himself would have said: “Is this scary to you, babe?”
Michael loved to joke around but he was very smart at the same time!
Preserving a body would allow duplicating his cells, cloning his organs for possible transplant, or whatever possibilities or not science will allow happening in a future not so far away from today, since humanity won’t stop evolution or its own destiny, whether we will be here to see it happening or not. It will happen in a way or another.
The body it’s important to life, that’s why the Bible says that when Jesus returns to earth, he will awake those who are “sleeping” and resurrect them back to life. The body has a meaning, even after death. Otherwise Jesus would not restore people from the grave. According to the Bible, the dead will be resurrected having a "glorified spiritual body." But that is also a physical body, as reporting in the Bible: (Luke 24:36-39) Jesus said after his resurrection: Luke 24:39 “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
So why the hurry in destroying the body after death? Michael will be resurrected one day as well as all of those who died before and after him. It doesn’t matter if the body was buried, destroyed, cremated or evaporated from earth.
God will bring them back because he can do it and because he is God and no one can do that except HIM. If you believe in this, be sure that resurrection will happen to you too.
"... that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:15-16)
For those who read this article published by the dailymail, it was interesting too:
“It was widely believed that the singer, who died from a heart attack, was interested in having his body frozen in the hope he could later be brought back to life.”

I know it’s too late to freeze MJ’s body in Cryogenics and keep his internal organs intact as they were, but preservation of his remains would still work for him and it would still be clever than burial or cremation.
MJ’s burial or cremation will be the last stab in the hearts of us his fans and in the heart of possibilities that might appear in the future…
For God, it simply doesn’t matter if one or another, because God can do whatever he wants to do to bring people back to life in the resurrection day.
That's right! It doesn’t matter who or when or how they have died or what it was done to their bodies after that...they shall return.
It's God's will and promisse.
