A public viewing for Michael Jackson will be held Friday at his former home, Neverland Ranch, according to several media reports, followed by a private family memorial service for the family on Sunday.
Jackson's body will be driven 130 miles from Los Angeles to the sprawling estate north of Santa Barbara late Thursday morning in a motorcade said to be at least 30 cars deep, according to CNN and TMZ.com, citing police officials.
E! News quoted a Santa Barbara Sheriff's department spokesman who said meetings were taking place with the California Highway Patrol to discuss security for the trip from the Jackson family home in Los Angeles to Neverland.
Jackson's birthplace of Gary, Indiana, also is planning a memorial service for the deceased singer on July 10, according to a spokeswoman for the city's mayor's office.
Lalosa Burns, spokeswoman for Gary Mayor Rudy Clay, tells Reuters that the memorial service would take place at US Steel Works sports stadium, and that more details would follow.
