About the service: Michael Jackson's memorial service was held on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles , California , 12 days after he died on June 25 . The service was broadcast live around the world, and was viewed by 31.1 million U.S. television viewers and one billion elsewhere in the world. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was preceded by a private family service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Hall of Liberty in Hollywood Hills , and followed by a gathering in Beverly Hills for family and close friends. The viewership was extremely high taking into consideration that the service was unusually held on a workday (Tuesday) and a host of people reported watching the service during work. Jackson's closed, solid-bronze casket, plated with 14-karat gold and lined with blue velvet, which was not originally expected to be at the memorial service, [ citation needed ] arrived just before 10:00 a.m. local time, when it was placed in front of the stage. The memorial began a few minutes after 10:30 a.m. with music and a eulogy from Pastor Lucious Smith. The stage was filled with floral arrangements, with photographs and film of Jackson and the Jackson 5 projected onto screens at the back. read more
