well,now i begin to doubt KF's motive. she seems in the same group of Randy Jackson.
I can only speak for myself, but I am glad I saw the pictures. I know Michael loved his privacy, but we only see a crypt (which I have seen on pics before), it's not like we see his body...
Remember how upset everyone was when they found out there would be no place the fans could go to? Now we can see it and I can finally find some peace, because it's such a beautiful, calm and serene place.
Again, I would like to emphasize that I don't agree with Karen Faye's actions (because the family didn't want it), but I am sure one day someone would have released pictures. It would have been bound to happen.
@Agnes - Yes she put them up on her facebook but she did, in fact, sell them to Splash News. I have two sources there confirming this.

The photos above are from TMZ. They were posted on November 8th without a photo credit and are of Michael Jackson’s tomb.
It appears the photos were from Karen Faye, a longtime Jackson employee, who did Michael Jackson’s make-up and is very friendly with MJ’s brother Randy Jackson.
Some people are led to believe that TMZ swiped these photos from Karen’s Face book page. However, if that were true, the photos would have been taken down by now or a credit would have been given as they have posted info from Face book accounts before. TMZ is too smart to swipe photos people.
Drfunkenberry.com has learned exclusively (Not exclusively as TMZ knows how much they paid) that TMZ paid over $100,000 for the photos.
TMZ has a policy of when paying for photos that it has to be the person who took the photos in the first place to be paid. They are not going to swipe photos from a facebook account or take them from someone second hand.
So, it had to be the person who took the photos, Karen Faye, or say someone close to Karen, such as Randy Jackson. You have to sign the agreement with TMZ as they now become the owners of the photos, so no photo credit is needed.
I am told that Karen took mementos from fans that were sent in as she sent out a message weeks prior that that she would be going to Michael’s grave site and would put what fans sent in around his tomb. The photos were posted on Karen’s face book page a few weeks ago and ended up on TMZ Sunday.
It’s interesting because if Karen wasn’t paid and since she is the owner of the photos, why are they still on TMZ? She is trying to make it sound like someone swiped the photos and gave them to TMZ but that is not the case.
I think it is highly WRONG that you are posting private photos of his tomb in the first place, weather on a face book account or not. Then to turn around and make a profit off of them when you say you were posting it “for the fans” as you say, it just straight up unprofessional as a former employee and someone who claims to do Michael right.
Now, if any of this information is not true, you can contact me and prove otherwise. TMZ, if posting these photos with your watermark is wrong and want it taken down, you can contact me as well. TMZ owns the photos hence why the watermark is there and why Karen is not making a stink for the photos to be taken down or even taken off her face book page.
What do you think of these photos coming out and the circumstances around them?-Dr.FB
Found this posted on another MJ forum.
According to Dr. Funkenberry.com (isn't this blog/website associated with Prince?), the pictures were sold for over $100,000.

they can't take something from facebook since facebook owns it. she sold it outright...i agree....
someone sent me her latest rant. it's too hypocritical to even finish reading. i don'tunderstand her at all.
nutters.
and this is an interesting response that was posted:

I have done a lot of digging around with regards to Michael and company. The article reiterates much of what I already came to find out on my own, except for 1 major thing. It was NOT Randy Jackson that accompanied Karen to Forest Lawn, but Randy Taraborrelli, author of “The Magic and The Madness, Michael Jackson”. This is a huge error, and exactly how rumors are started. I hope Dr.Funkenberry.com corrects this information. For those of you that follow Karen, you will recall her mentioning that she visited Michael with a close family friend. If it were a member of the family, I am certain she would have said with a member of the Jackson family, even if she wanted to omit names.
This is very important, I hope people will pick up on this error.
:doh:
I didn't want to see the picutres, I wanted to value Michael privacy and the family, but today I happend to be going through The Sun when I saw the picture. I'm so upset, I promised myself that I wouldn't view those pictures, but by accident I have I can't believe that the papers are so heartless. How could they show those pictures!!? What happened to rest in peace!?
I'm so angry at Karen Faye. First posting them on her FB account, that's bad enough, but to sell them to TMZ is just despicable. I just cant believe that someone that MJ trusted and who worked for him for 20 years has sold pictures of his resting place for money. Then to blame the fans for swiping them off her account, BS. She sold them, Levin is a former lawyer. He's not stupid and would only have bought photos from the original owner, which TMZ have confirmed. She did MJ's make up for the funeral, wonder if I'll be seeing that in The Sun at some point.
Where have you been? It's already in The Sun !!!!
Go to the sun's site; it's there. we ain't allow pic of that here.
P.S: i repeat this woman is a devil and sycophant
That woman is a witch. She has betrayed MJ. I have no doubt that the next picture of MJ that karen Faye will post on her facebook will be MJ's corpse. Call me cynical, but given the fact that (Karen faye) claimed that she was employed to put a make-up on MJ for burial, i think she will take a pic of MJ's corpse. If this appears one day remember that i told you guys. The woman has no shame and is worst than bashir and others.

Why are you all accusing Karen? Do you have any evidence that she sold it to the tabloids and she intended to let the pictures go worldwide? All I know is that she posted the pictures for the fans who want to feel closer to Michael and she posted it on the day TII is opened because she was very angry with AEG for pressuring Michael to perform and this made him taking the drugs which ended his life.
I was her mistake to post the pictures because it will eventually ended up everywhere eventhough she hopes to only share it with her facebook friends.
