I personally wouldn't spend that much on something to bury but I've certainly been to funerals and seen more expensive caskets for non-celebrities and such. Never one plated with gold though.
Just when you thought the Jacksons couldn't get any tackier, be any grosser or show any less taste or decorum, they do the most unspeakably classless thing ever-- they decide to sell tickets for $25 each to MJ's funeral. What's next-- they let you crack the lid and peek inside for an additional $100? Have a photographer take your picture doing a piano shimmy on the coffin for $500? Sell a drop of his blood in a necklace vial for $1000?
Please bury him already, before that glass coffin parading through downtown drawn by a Cinderella carriage is back in the works.
What is this? California humor? Not funny, humorous, or witty in the least.
I say that whatever they do and however long it takes is fine and necessary. After all, we're talking about the greatest peformer in history here. This is major stuff!

Necessary? ROTFLMAO!!!!
For every person who thinks he was a great performer, another thinks he was a drugged out freak or a child molester who got off easy. Your opinion is your opinion, not everyone's. Enjoy the show.

Count me as one of the people who thing Jackson was a drugged-out freak and child molestor.

You're right, it isn't funny. It's HILARIOUS!
Maybe it is a form of California humor, or, more specifically, Southern California humor. We're jaded when it comes to celebrities... especially whack-job celebs like Jacko.
In all actuality, that isn't that pricey for MJ's taste!!
Funeral -Tues. Staples Center.10:00 a.m.
11,000 tickets distributed free supposedly....
According to this 17,500 free tickets to the public.
Clip:
Organizers of the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles are giving out 17,500 free tickets to randomly selected fans who register on the venue's Web site, officials said Friday at a news conference.
Those who can't get the precious tickets – 11,000 in the Staples Center and another 6,500 to watch on big screens at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live across the street – can watch a live worldwide television feed being provided free to networks or on streaming video on the Web.
Organizers are using a wristband system to crack down on scalpers.
He must have had insurance because I don't see Bates making a casket that expensive for someone so heavily in debt.

With each day that passes, his body starts decomposing.
Look at Anna Nicole, by the time they put her in the ground they couldn't have an open casket.
The thing is, how does anyone even know he's in the casket by the time they do this? No one but his family does.. so if they are charging, people could be paying to see a casket that might not even contain MJ.

No worries there...with all the plastic and facial surgeries performed (50+), as well as skin bleaching...his body is well preserved. No need for a closed casket.
