Michael Jackson in a Concrete Wrapped Coffin

According to source, the coffin of the late pop king, Michael Jackson, will be covered using thick concrete so that robbers will not be able to steal it.

The King of Pop’s funeral is scheduled to be held as a family affair at a walled Los Angeles cemetery on September 3.

If sources are to be believed, then emotional farewell letters have been written for the late pop legend by his children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven, that will be placed in his 18,000-pound gold-plated coffin, reports the Daily Express.

According to the newspaper, the trademark of gloves will also be placed in his coffin, while being buried.

Jackson’s brother Marlon has disclosed that MJ has been fitted with a new shoulder-length wig while his face was painted with full stage makeup.

Soul legend Aretha Franklin will be performing during the funeral which will be attended by just family and close friends.

A wall of concrete will then be poured around the coffin to keep ghoulish souvenir hunters at bay.

Marlon said: “This is the final step – the final curtain will be closed as regards to Michael’s life. It’s a quiet place where the children will be able to visit in private.”
