Michael Jackson's body could be displayed in a glass coffin.
The 50-year-old singer's family are discussing the possibility of placing the late star in a see-through casket to allow his fans to say goodbye following his death last Thursday (25.06.09).
However, the idea has reportedly split his siblings and parents because his mother Katherine and father Joe Jackson are devout Jehovah's Witnesses and according to the faith, it is important to bury bodies quickly after death.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "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, Joe has announced the 'Thriller' singer's funeral will not be held until the results of the second autopsy are released.
He said: "We're searching to see what happened to Michael. I want to see how this autopsy is coming out, the second autopsy. I'm expecting to hear about it real soon."
A senior Los Angeles Police chief added: "We are preparing for an event of historic proportions. We will be co-operating closely with the family once they have decided where to hold the funeral."
