ShareLondon: The body of late Michael Jackson could be put on display in a glass coffin so that fans can bid adieu to the star before his burial.
According to reports, the King of Pop's family has discussed the idea of a see-through casket to allow the public to see him one last time.
However, family members cannot agree on the funeral arrangements.
Parents Joe and Katherine are Jehovah's Witnesses. The religion says a body must be buried as soon as possible, reports The Sun.
A source said: "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?' "
Meanwhile, the British tabloid has revealed that when Michael died he owed at least 300million dollars - and was begging banks to lend him more moolah.
In late 2007, the King of Pop was seeking to borrow 43million dollars, according to The Sun who saw his financial papers.
On paper, Jacko had assets worth 1.3billion dollars- almost all tied up in his 50 per cent ownership of The Beatles' back catalogue with Sony Records. But he was unable - or unwilling - to sell his share.
