Los Angeles - Even as thousands of fans of pop icon Michael Jackson prepares to leave for Los Angeles where a public memorial service in tribute of the late singer will be held on Tuesday, the Jackson family is quietly planning to hold a small private funeral on the same day, possibly in Forest Lawn Mortuary, the final resting place of the actors Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis and the singers Sammy Davis Jr and Nat King Cole.


Jackson's brother Jermaine said last week the singer's family wants to have other memorials around the United States similar to the one that would be held on Tuesday. Speaking to Larry King during Thursday's broadcast of CNN's "Larry King Live," Jermaine said that there would also be a private ceremony for family and some special guests before the public memorial.
Though the Jackson family is tight-lipped about the funeral plans, businesses around Forest Lawn mortuary have reportedly been contacted by the LAPD and asked if their facilities can be used on Tuesday by authorities.
According to Assistant Chief of Los Angeles Police Department, Jim McDonnell, Forest Lawn officials were working with the Jackson family on their plans, which were part of "a package" of events to be held on Tuesday.
McDonnell, however, did not answer questions about exactly where or when Jackson would be buried. While there are five Forest Lawn cemeteries in the Los Angeles area, a long line of media trucks and crews have been parked at the gate of the Hollywood Hills facility for several days in anticipation of Jackson's possible interment there. Jackson's grandmother is buried at the cemetery as are other entertainment stars including Marvin Gaye, Clark Gable.
