http://www.dailymail.co.uk — Michael Jackson will be buried in a $25,000 (£15,300) gold casket in a funeral that is set to fulfil his own prophecy by becoming the greatest show on Earth.
The coffin, a rare design called the Promethean, is made of solid bronze but is 14-carat gold-plated with a hand-polished mirror finish and lined with velvet.
It was ordered last night from America’s Batesville Casket Company and is identical to the coffin used to bury James Brown in 2006, according to TMZ, the website which first broke the news of the King of Pop's death.
