will the fans get to view MJ's body?why can't the family make funeral arrangements and stick with them.it?

would be a shame if some fans have traveled thousands of miles for nothing.

1. why travel there, we have the internet.
2. they canceled the viewing of the body and instead will just have a public memorial.....but nothings yet finalized.
3. Let his family take their time.
4. on the news they said noone will be able to see his body. but they are having a public memorial.
5. he's guna be buried in his neverland ranch, and it wouldn't be fair to his family and friends to have a private funeral and one on one time with him if all his fans were allowed to see him.
6. Have you ever had a funeral or been associated with one? wel i am sure you have not. its a big deal for someone to die and then when its an icon well that is something different also and much bigger and they are trying to do right by what they are doing. its so hard to accomodate all the people in the world. so many loved this guy and he was a good person no matter what you say. he was ok in my book ad i loved his music and songs and everything abot him. his dad was mean which he'll never forgive but now he will as hes with God right now and hes happy i am sure. hes watching all this and proud of what they are doing for him he i am sure does not care too much but you need to calm down and be cool i mean people that are going to fly will find out what they need to .
7. The family have not announced any funeral arrangements yet (private or public). Technically, since no plans have been announced or agreed to by the family, they have not made plans and did not have to stick to anything because nothing has been announced officially (yet). So, whatever conjecture / hype is the fault of the media (re: telling people things before they are settled or even announced by the family). When they announce official arrangements, they will be announced by their family or their representative (not just guessing from various media / tabloid outlets).
8. They are talking about having viewings all over the place, I guess they will do something to the body-like preserve it so they can take it all over the country. It is almost a week already and it must be deteriorating already. I did hear that years ago, Barnamun and Baily Circus did preserve a body of a mother and baby -I think the monkey woman or such and toured the country with them. I hope this isn't what they will do to his body!
9. I am glad the family have said no to this sick parade,i am a fan but it gives me no right to view him as dead,death is a private thing and he was someones son,father,brother etc. When my father died i would have hated for total strangers to see him that way,he was my dad not public property. And MJ was famous yes but fans had a right to his music,his shows etc not his corpse,that is just sick.
10. One answer said its a big deal going through ; a funeral ; I buried lots of love one ; and no its not complicated [ unless you want some drama ; well yes it will be completed ] The Jackson family doesn't have time ; sorry I should say mike father doesn't have any time for a proper funeral for his son ; his days are full by trying to crab all the money his son has at his death
11. it's a funeral not a concert. i think it shame full that anyone in his family should do anything for the "fans" convenience. or that fan's should expect anything. let the guy die in peace.
12. if they did have a public viewing the best thing would be to have a thick glass covering him.. really think about it.. all it takes is some wack job to try to grab a piece of his hair and he or she ruined the whole thing for everyone.. and just know there are a few of them out there.imagine how much a lock of his hair is worth..or even a picture..a real one taken by a camera.. you have to be careful when your a star and in the public eye.. even if your dead..
