WASHINGTON: The body of legendary soul singer James Brown had yet to be buried on Friday, 19 days after his death, because his family has not decided where and how to lay him to rest, his lawyer said.

The 73-year-old King of Soul died on December 25 of congestive heart failure in an Atlanta, Georgia, hospital.

His body has been kept at his house in Beach Island, South Carolina, in a temperature-controlled environment, an employee of the Augusta funeral home in charge of his embalmment said.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's will was read to his six children on Thursday and will be probated next week, Brown's lawyer, Buddy Dallas, said. But the place and manner of his burial still remained undecided.

"The family will announce where the mausoleum is to be built," he said.

"There has been an awful lot of effort devoted to his affairs. It just takes time," he said, adding, "the body is well-protected."

At the time of a tribute to Brown at the Apollo Theater in New York on December 28, signs of discord among relatives over Brown's estate were beginning to emerge.

Brown's partner, 36-year-old singer Tomi Rae Hynie, who lived with Brown and mothered his youngest son, five-year-old James, said she was barred from entering the star's house on the day of this death.

US media have reported conflicts over inheritance rights, with a lawyer for Brown questioning the legality of Hynie's marriage to the singer.
