you are right, there are several forest lawn cemeteries. one of the bigger things starting to emerge is which forest lawn and where. the other question that hasn't been answered and that the family has kept guarded is where will michael jackson's final resting place be? last week on thursday evening, jermaine jackson said he was still holding out hope that michael jackson could be laid to rest at neverland, but local laws at this point don't allow that. they are trying to work those out, at least the family was, and there is speculation that michael jackson will be laid to rest here at forest lawn. this would be a logical place, but that's the big question, we don't know what the family has come up with for a final resting spot for michael jackson. >> ted, i want you to stand by there at forest lawn as we take a look at maybe who is getting out. ted, maybe you can identify someone along the way. obviously, there are other problems for any other kind of burial at neverland, there's a lot of debt at neverland. it is co-owned or the investment

as you know, this is forest lawn cemetery. the celebrity cemetery where bette davis is buried, lucille ball, ed mcmahon just last week. this could be where michael jackson is buried. we know tomorrow cnn has learned there will be a gathering of the jackson family here at 8:00 local time, two hours before the public memorial. but that is all that we can confirm at this moment. there's going to be a gathering. and yet, larry, you may be able to see over my shoulder, there are security guards here, they've been barricading the entrance. even some michael jackson fans who have come out. they seem to think there's something going to happen here. we don't know whether or not michael jackson's body will come here or whether he'll be buried here. but we do know there's going to be some kind of gathering here, larry, so i think people have to put two and two together. we'll see what comes out of it. >> larry: susan, is a gathering a funeral? >> reporter: we have not been told that word. we've just been told, larry, a gathering. so it w

jane: back to any judge, live at forest lawn -- anita, live at forest lawn cemetery. the family has arrived? >> it has. activity has reached a fever pitch at the cemetery. we are watching the motorcade enter the black wrought iron gates here at the cemetery and we had watched many black rolls royces and black range rovers and to those gates. just a few minutes ago before we came on camera, the motorcade arrived at, the media moved into place to capture the picture and now we're watching the remnants of the motorcade. these black tour buses now entering the wrought iron gates. all this is happening just a little behind schedule. we were told that the private family service would take place at 8:00 local time this morning, and it is now 815 local time. perhaps there are 20 minutes to 25 minutes of them being by unscheduled. we see the los angeles fire department, ambulances, followed by a patrol cars, motorcycles officers, and it is part of the encino compound here. we believe it will be a private family service. the big question is whether jackson will be buried someti

megyn: it is 10 miles from encino to forest lawn cemetery. another 13 miles from there to the scent -- staples center in downtown los angeles. if the jackson family decides to bring the casket with the body in it from forest lawn to the staples center, police need to prepare for security. you can imagine the mob scenes that we will see unfold on the streets of los angeles, as the caravan holding his body goes by. they are prepared to go by helicopter, if necessary, awaiting word from the family. one has to wonder if they are giving all of the information. speaking of los angeles police, there are hundreds of them, hundreds of them out there protecting the scene, making sure that nobody gets hurt, that nobody breaks the rules. it looks like today's memorial is giving los angeles a major boost in terms of business, to the tune of $4 million. all of these bodies coming in, purchasing items, staying in hotels and so on. the lapd is expecting 1 million people in town for the service. hotels, restaurants, airports, the tourist destinations, all rep

what are you seeing at forest lawn? >> reporter: well, don, no sign of the family here yet at forest lawn. last night you mentioned they came here for a gathering as well. there was a hearse at that point, too. it is part of the gathering from last night. now that we know jackson's body will be going to staples center, that begs the question, will the body then be going with the family? that's probably a good assumption at this point. what we do know is at 8:00, witness the next hour, family members are going to gather for what they are calling a private gathering. from there they will be escorted, and there are enough police here to escort the president. they are going to escort the family and jackson's body to the staples center for the 10:00 a.m. memorial. heavy presentation presence here of security, but no family members here yet. we assume this will begin at the top of the hour. >> i have to say that the gathering at forest lawn here last night may have been the only family gathering. stick by, if you see the fami

the family's torn over there. >> when you say it's at forest lawn, which forest lawn? >> the one in glendale. >> how far away is that, about ten miles? >> yeah, from encino, the family compound, you mean? >> yes. >> yes, about ten miles. right next to warner brothers studios. >> how did it end up there? we thought it was in berry gordy's family crypt. >> it was at first. there were the threats of michael's body being stolen. notes being thrown over the fence. so they moved the body. >> this, while the neighborhood surrounding neverland is in an uproar. neighbors are promising a legal war. if the jackson brothers' plans materialize and a burial theme park is planted there. out to the lines. to maya in illinois. hi, maya. >> caller: hi, nancy. love your show. i have a -- i was wondering, i have a theory on why michael put the masks on the children. maybe it wasn't just to be odd. maybe so that the nanny could take them to public places and they wouldn't be noticed, so they could have a childhood? >> well, i mean, you kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you walk into
