It's been a busy autumn so I haven't had a chance to go grave hunting lately. However....
Happily, reader Erin Jacobs visited Forest Lawn Glendale this weekend and reports that my theory about Michael Jackson being entombed in the Ascension Windows sarcophagus on the Holly Terrace is correct!

From Erin ~
"Just wanted to tell you that your grave hunting hunches were spot on. You can now change your web site to say; this is where Michael Jackson is laid to rest. The small room at the end of the hallway is covered with flowers and balloons. We brought a huge arrangement of flowers and the guards walked them back for us why we watched through the window. We even took video. No problems with that, the guards were very friendly and they didn't try to make us erase the film. Again, thank you!"
Thank YOU, Erin!
Stay tuned for a link to Erin's video when it's finalized online.

Thank you, Erin, for sharing your experience and photos!
I'm speechless.

Excuse, who are the girls of the picture? Fans of Michael? or DID they work for him????
THanks for the pictures....They make this tragedy more real and true...OMG....I feel we have lost the greatest...This shows me again the fact that Michael Jackson is gone is true.. and he will never come back...He will rest in peace forever in that beautiful holy terrace.....I have to accept it....THAT'S SO SAD..I still cry for him. Poor Michael Jackson....He should be here with us!!!!
THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HIM.... :( :( :(

I miss him so much

Thank you so much...To see that he is in a beautiful place makes my pain just a tiny bit more bareable...Knowing now that he was not tucked away in a dark and scary place(as I invisioned) makes it so much better...It is so great to know that the guards pass on your flowers and gifts...I miss Mike so very much...God Bless Your Children Mike...

Thanks for sharing, I commented in the album also, I look at this and can't help some tears to come to my eyes yet again. Though like some have said here, I'm glad he's resting in that beautiful place and not in some anonimous grave like it was rumored at some point. I will visit some day too, from Mexico, just to feel closer.
I can't imagine what it must feel like to be there, so close yet so far to someone we still love, admire and miss so much.
This is so heartbreaking...
