Michael Jackson's body to be displayed in glass coffin?

London, June 30 : Pop legend Michael Jackson's body could be displayed in a glass
coffin to allow fans from across the world to say their final goodbyes to the late superstar.

The 50-year-old singer's family is discussing the possibility of placing his body in a see-through casket to allow his fans to say their goodbyes following his death last Thursday, reports contactmusic.com.

The idea has reportedly split his siblings and parents because his mother Katherine and father Joe are devout Jehovah's witnesses and according to the faith, it is important to bury bodies quickly after death.

'The idea is causing internal stress within the family. The glass casket idea would create so much public interest it would take time to organise. People would make the pilgrimage from the other side of the world. The question that keeps coming back is, 'What would Michael have wanted?',' said a source close to the family.

The family, on the other hand, are reportedly hoping to hold a global funeral celebration for one billion of the singer's fans.
