As the Jackson family struggles to cope with the loss of singer Michael Jackson, they’ve almost come to a consensus on the burial arrangements of the late icon.

According to a report, the “Beat It” hitmaker’s funeral will be scheduled for sometime next week, with Los Angeles’ Staples Center as a possible location for the ceremony.

A spokesperson for the Jackson family told press, “Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland.”

The rep continued, “Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”
