Michael Jackson's body will take center stage at Tuesday's public memorial at the Staples Center in downtown LA, according to reports.

Michael's family and closest friends will hold a private memorial early in the morning at Forest Lawn Cemetery - where his body is now. The coffin will then be transported to Staples for what promises to be one of the biggest spectacles in history.
 
Jackson's grave will be close to that of his grandmother, who was buried at the cemetery in 1990, and stars like Liberace, Bette Davis and Andy Gibb.

The King of Pop's burial suit has been designed by his longtime costumers, Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, and Jackson will reportedly be laid to rest in a replica of James Brown's bronze casket.
