have u been to the ranch? the giving tree is near his house so unless they wish to tear down that structure, aka, themain house, he won't beburied there.
it'd be great if they could transfer the tree to f.l.
and here's a website that will tell u of some celebs who have a plot where u cannot access. look for bogart and pickford. their names are in orange and blue, respectively

Yes I've been to the ranch and the Giving Tree itself. I don't know if California's laws are different from Tennessee's in regards to how close a person can be buried to a structure, but I've also been to Graceland and can say that Elvis's resting place is closer to the house than the Giving Tree is to the house at Neverland.
This is the first I've heard about any celeb graves supposedly being off limits at that cemetery. I say "supposedly" because in the very next paragraph from the mention of Bogart and Pickford, it has this to say:
"...Others, such as Gable and Lombard's crypts are supposed to be off limits to the public, but can be easily bypassed by anyone willing to bypass a chain rope..."
Followed in the next paragraph by:
"Most of these actors toiled all their lives to be famous, to become something special, to earn the love and admiration of the public. Yet Forest Lawn's restrictive policy means that in death, these immortal starts simply disappear into a vast anonymous sea of gravestones..."
And the above is in regards to celebs with marked graves. Now add to that the fact that Michael is to be buried in an unmarked grave even makes that above statement more true. I ask you, is this befitting of Michael? Not in my opinion.
Soso, I understand where you're coming from and you make some good points. There is no easy answer to where the best final resting place for Michael would be. As it stands now apparently it's all a moot point anyways and it's decided he will be buried at FL. I just pray he will rest in peace away from anyone wishing to do his grave harm, and I pray his family will be able to find privacy when visiting him.
