Michael Jackson is buried in the Holly Terrace at Forest Lawn Memorial park in Glendale, California. It's the big castle on the only green hill off the 2 freeway, you can't miss it. Drive up Forest Lawn, turn right, and the The Holly Terrace is located on the east side of the castle. You can't go in the Mausoleum where his actual tomb is, but you can see flowers and love pouring from all over the world on the anniversary of his birth and death every year.
