Jackson's coffin was on stage during his memorial gig in Los Angeles

He will be laid to rest at the Forest-Lawn memorial park in Glendale on 29 August in a private ceremony for close friends and family.

A spokesman for the Jacksons said they wished to convey their gratitude3（感谢） for the support offered by fans.

The cause of Jackson's death, on 25 June, has yet to be revealed.

Family spokesman Ken4 Sunshine said Jackson would be buried on the Holly5 Terrace at the memorial park's Great Mausoleum, which features replicas6（复制品） of Michelangelo works.

Block party

A different Forest Lawn cemetery7（公墓，墓地） in Los Angeles provided the setting for the memorial service held by the family in the hours leading up to the globally televised tribute concert on 7 July.

His coffin（棺材） was taken to the concert and remained on stage while family members and celebrities8 paid tribute to the star.

There has been continuing speculation9（沉思，推测） as to where he would eventually be buried.

"The Jackson family once again wishes to express its gratitude to Michael's fans around the world for their support during these difficult times," the family said in a statement.

Meanwhile, director Spike10 Lee has announced plans for a "block party" to celebrate Jackson's life in the New York borough11 of Brooklyn.

Lee worked with Jackson on the music video for They Don't Care About Us.
