Michael Jackson's $25,000 Custom Casket

A $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated, custom casket has been ordered for Michael Jackson. The casket -- ordered last night from Batesville Casket Company -- is called a Promethean and will feature a flame blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish.

This is the same casket used to bury James Brown... and is extremely rare.

And he’s not even alive to enjoy it. How sad.

“This is the same casket used to bury James Brown... and is extremely rare.”

So rare it has to be used more than once? What happened to James Brown’s body - mouldering with John’s?

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

“Micheal Jackson’s dead!!!!?????”

Michael who...?

[Captain Peter Blood]

His body stayed at the funeral home for a year after the funeral as the family could not decide where to bury him and something about the funeral home bill.

[Bullish]

Now he’s given reason for people to dig it up for the gold.

Somebody better keep an eye on Michaels Dad.

I think this would have been mopre his style...

[Miss Behave]

“...and this beauty over here is our Trash-with-Cash Casket, totally befitting a “Staples” funeral....”

[carolinablonde]

Why don't they just use that hyperbaric chamber he supposedly had?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Well they had both lost a lot of weight. Might work.

[Daffynition]

Dang! I put the decimal point in the wrong place!

[taillightchaser]

I thought he was millions in debt—whose paying for the casket? Did ossama obama bail him out??
Can’t we just dump the pervert in a hole and move on??

You know, at first I thought this child's casket was in somewhat bad taste - but if I had to undergo the horror of needing to bury a child, I think the last image I would want of them is being decended into the ground in some plain dark or white casket.

This thing, as imperfect as it is, might give me some hope that my kid was off to better, more upbeat things in the afterlife. I think.

Are they on Independence Day sale ? If so, it would be a good time to stock up on high end caskets.

Looks pretty comfy...........

[muawiyah]

They got James Brown too?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hoosiermama]

Indiana Casket Company....Born here, We’ll take em out too!

[Anti-Bubba182]

"This is the same casket used to bury James Brown."

And they are both just as dead, gone and beyond caring about the box they decompose in.

[HiramQuick]

I don’t know .... but he sat up and shouted “I feeeeeel Gooood!!”
