The casket Michael Jackson will be resting in during his memorial tomorrow at Staples Center is fit for a king.

The casket is made of solid bronze, is 14-Karat gold plated, and cost $25,000. Why not 24-Karat gold?

The casket came from Batesville Casket Company, and is called a Promethean, which will feature a flame blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish.

There has been talk of trying to preserve Michael so he can be put on public display permanently, just like Vladimir Lenin in Russia. Maybe Los Angeles should consider this, because it is rumored the taxpayers will be paying for Michael’s memorial at Staples Center. Maybe LA could charge for people to see Michael to recoup the memorial expense.
