Michael Jackson can’t live at peace in his beloved Neverland Ranch. It is most famous for being the former home of American pop musician Michael Jackson. Neverland Valley Ranch is a developed property in Santa Barbara County, California.

Michael Jackson’s family wanted a funeral at Jackson’s former home north of Santa Barbara but it was not possible to obtain a residential exemption required for a burial on private property.

“Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland,” says a Jackson family statement. “Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for

Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”

Colony Capital, the investment company that purchased Neverland in May 2008, tried to get an exemption for burial. “They couldn’t get it in time,” a Colony spokesperson says.

As for reports that Jackson’s body is being held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, William Martin, communications director for the funeral home, won’t confirm or deny if Jackson will be buried there.
