Michael's Extravagant Casket
Filed under: Michael Jackson
We wouldn't expect anything less for the King of Pop!
The specs for Michael Jackson's coffin have come in and it is elaborate, to say the least.
Costing a whopping $25,000, the casket is solid bronze, plated in 14-karat gold. The custom designed casket's interior is flame blue velvet and the exterior will have a mirror finish.
A resting place fitting for Michael Jackson.

Can't wait to see you in a casket! There… I've said it…!
Only the best for the king of pop.
needs more bling, something custom. anyone can buy one like this. Maybe a plasma TV and cotton candy dispenser.
he's getting more and more behind with his news!
Kill yourself with these Michael Jackson reports Mario….you either are late or just posting tabloid fodder crap.
R.I.P. King Of All Popular Medias
Just what I expected from those always understated and tasteful Jacksons! I can hardly wait to see the ensemble they come up with, or his he going to have costume changes like James Brown did????? Get ready for Neverland to turn into Graceland. CA CHING!
Tacky…
Well, he never was given to understatement. As tacky as Elvis'.
that is gorgeous
old news
i think it looks pretty….
epic
OLD NEWS OLD NEWS, douche!
Umm, Perez you're becoming really slow with your posts. This is ollddd news..
This is 2 days old. Harvey is now REALLY kicking your ass.
You should change your tagline fom most hated website to least current website. Your news is as old as your wardrobe.
He didnt want to be buried.
Better contribute that gold to relief work.
…ok. That is creepy. My mausoleum is creepy too but I guess people want to see over the top in death as in life. RIP MJ.
Re: papatoony – Good point.
Re: hellbent – Actually I believe Elvis had a white casket. Something Michael probably woulda preferred to this. He hated being black and this casket sure isn't for a white funeral!
DOEZN'T
COZT
VERY MUCH!!!
am i the only one who thinks its a little odd to spend that much on something that goes in the ground never to be seen again?! like honestly, does our society not have more pressing issues? are there not children in need of food and such??
Too bad people care so much about things like caskets instead of where their souls are going
yhfswi last night. If you were here we would have made our own fireworks
what a waist of money..something for a dead body to lay in dumb
Fit for a King….
www.MJsDrugUse.com
all i can say is why..that money could have gone to help children on need,what a douch.
he said he'd rather be cremated! so why is his family insistant on going against his wishes and shoving him in the ground for bugs to eat?!!!!
Dr Al you won't see me in a casket if for any reason so that you don't get the satisfaction, Sir Osis of Liver…
Nothing like tacky opulence. In death as in life
as long as his innocent soul lies with god
Wow, fit for a King.
RIP MICHAEL
Lets hope they remember to lock it and throw away the keys
Oh wow, a casket that costs $25,000!! Is that going to make him any less dead?? Why not spend a million dollars for a casket made of diamonds and moon rocks and dodo feathers with a built in coffee maker and wifi. Maybe that will bring him back….? No, sorry, you can bury him in a hefty bag, but he's still dead, and he ain't coming back.
If your fat corpse were going in there, it would well be worth the 25 grand, you fucking sick bastard. One second Jackson is a fucking sicko, the next he's a revered god… who's dick are you sucking? And have your lackey run out and buy your copy of the Enquirer sooner. Your site is pure shit, but still funny in that sick way.
I don't see why this is a big deal when Hollywood starlets go out and purchase Hermes bags that cost more than this casket.
Are you kidding me? It's going in the ground!
Wow…old news.
That's not much for a nice casket. In the '80s we paid that much for my grandfather's Stainless Steel casket. I'd say this is a bargain!!
Re: cali kitty – What do YOU do for children in need?
Re: Triddy –
Yeah…it's really not that much for a casket. Even a basic high quality casket is going to cost at least 6 grand.
And to those saying he doesn't deserve it…the casket is to comfort the living. The point of a nice casket is so the family can feel like they are honoring their loved one, and that they can feel better knowing that they are laid to rest in a nice way.
he would have loved it!
Oh yeah, and I also got a lot of "what do YOU do for the needy". Like they know me!
Re: PP16WW – what the fuck asshole? this aint no nambla meeting
Re: Shino –
shut the fuck up!
how do you know he is a pedophile?
you are a fucking asshole and will burn in hell
for the things you are saying, you red neck hillbilly.
stop sleeping with your family members and fix your teeth!
Hmmm my guess is they will wait the 30 days and bury him at Neverland, which is why he is not cremated. Then Neverland will turn into the next Graceland. It will get the estate out of debt and make money for the family for years to come. Make's sense really. Too bad for all the neighbors in Santa Barbara I can see a lot of FOR SALE signs going up. Who knows maybe if all the neighbors move they can turn the lavish houses into hotels for people who visit Neverland…..seriously I think the minute he died people just had $$$$ running through their head. Crazy people. At least they didn't charge for the funeral they would have seen way too much backlash from that.
that's beautiful *cries* i can't believe it this is still so surreal
michael deserves the best
whoever is saying michael is a felon is wrong, he was NEVER convicted so get over yourselfs, you don't have to like him but show some damn respect or just don't say anything at all
And they say you can't take it with you……
You yanks can certainly do vulgar!
Did we really need to see this? UGH!
An idiotic waste of money.
who cares what he's buried in? you don't take anything with you when you're dead.
Re: papatoony –
He did not mean he didn't wanna be buried. He followed up by saying, " I wanna live forever"
And nothing less !
WOW. That is one blingy casket.
Re: PerezTheBlogNazi says "Wow..fit for a king" – King of what Bam Bam? King of pedohiles? Will the kids he abused and had to settle out of court in undisclosed sums be invited to the disgusting memorial service? Will your Messiah Dumbama be there to weep over the casket? We the country lower their flags to half staff in honor of the pedophile? I love libitards, you make the world go around and more fun to be in!
Re: Hate Low Class People – WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS HE MOLESTED……….SPENDING THE MICHAELS HARD EARNED MONEY…..STUPID MONEY HUNGRY BASTARDS……DID YOU NOT HEAR OF ONE KID ADMITTING THAT HE WAS FORCED TO LIE SAYING HIS PARENTS FORCED HIM TO LIE SO THAT THEY CAN GET OUT OF BEING POOR…………PEOPLE JUST TOOK MICHAELS KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS MAY HE REST IN PEACE
TEARS TO MY EYES………
sad its all very sad
Re: awsomekrys – because he paid the first kid he hurt 30 million dollars to make him shut up and go away.
I dunno….I thought MJ had better taste than this. *shrug* Wasnt MJ a fan of detailed craftsmanship?!?!
Re: Aimee999 – when did he say he wanted to be cremated?
What a fucking waste of money. Seriously. It's a damn corpse. Doesn't matter who it is or how they lived, it's /dead/.
thats really bad for the enviormenttt it is not biodegradablee.
And unless they encase it in ten feet of cement, like they had to do with Abraham Lincoln's coffin, it will be stolen within months!
Re: Shino – he's not a pedophile, grow the fuck up, & quit being so damn disrepectful.
Old news Perezzzz…
I sure hope they buried him above the ground and not below…
to everyone else, this may be "old news" Perez, but I'm glad I have you to keep me updated, b/c I don't have the time in my life to look at every single little gossip site there is. So, I choose yours, first and only. You give me what I need for entertainment in that such, so then I can live in the real world and do something with my life, for the rest of the day. Thanks man
I Think You're So 2 Face Yo Like For Real, At First When He Was Like Sick You Were Saying That It Was An Exuses To Get Out Of Rehearsing And Now You're Kissing His Ass, WOWWWW Real Nice . . Idk I'm Not Nobody To Judge You And You're Nobody To Judge Me, But I'm Just Saying What i Think, Like You Did At First.
Imma have to go with the diamond one now…
What a waste!
tacky James Brown duplicate. Kind of stupid to re-create someone's one of a kind casket.
FYI, this was new news last week!
Wow! well… he deserves the best imo. RIP
WOW! may he rest in peace.
ugh, that is so not environmentally friendly! i wonder why he was not cremated or something like that?
I suggest his body be embalmed and put on display on Barnum and Bailey tours.
rest in peace MJ….
he hopefully will in that casket….
tacky, and am i the only one who's not realli tht interested in his death??? there's got to be more people than me out there…
Yup and you know his dad made sure MJ payed for it himself (out of the estate)
i thought michael had converted to islam, if its true then he dsnt need a coffin.
Re: Hate Low Class People –
Your childish Obama namecalling makes you come across like an precocious 5 year old, unoriginal at that.
Why waste so much money on a casket?? Thats ridiculous.
Re: Aimee999 – He said in the Bashir intreview he liked that one coffin in that store he shopped at and would like to be buried in one like it.So I doubt he wanted cremated.
Put him in an oxygen chamber and on display at nevrland..he would LOVE the attention!!
He deserved the best
Pretty.
it reminds me of the sarcophagus MJ bought in the, ahem, documentary by martin bashir?
its a shame he blew all his money and couldn't have a pyramid built.
.
Sort of ironic.
For the man who had tons of fame and money .. which did NOT make
him happy ..
It seems fitting, I guess, that he leaves the world in a $25,000 casket.
I think his family is going to have him stuffed & take him on tour!
he deserves it. the nice casket i mean, not the death.
also, to bad that hes getting all of this fame and attention AFTER he dies.
Man people can waste money foolishly!!$25,000 doesnt make him any less dead..so WHY????He was just a person like every one here..so what.
RIP Michael. Can't say I will miss the 2009 version of you, but in the early '80s, "THRILLER" kicked ass!
