Various reports are doing the rounds regarding Michael Jackson's funeral and memorial arrangements.
According to TMZ, a massive 30-car motorcade is set to return Jackson's body from Los Angeles to the Neverland ranch, where the public will be invited to a memorial service. However Santa Barbara County officials have not been contacted by the Jackson family.
The Los Angeles Times also reports that a source believes that a public memorial and funeral service will also be held at the 19,000-seat Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Afterwards the procession would then move onto Neverland Ranch for a somewhat smaller service for family, friends and the music industry.
