Tito Jackson’s funeral will be held at the cemetery where brother Michael and father Joe are buried

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — A funeral was held Tito Jackson in the same cemetery in Southern California where his brother was Michael Jackson and his father Joe Jackson are buried.

Family and friends gathered Monday to mourn the singer and guitarist of the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, about seven weeks after his death at age 70. He lived in Claremore, Oklahoma.

Photos from various media outlets showed that among the mourners were siblings Marlon and La Toya Jackson, as well as Michael’s children Paris and Bigi Jackson.

Tito Jackson’s sons said on Instagram that after the service, a smaller family ceremony was held a few miles away at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, where he was buried.

Tito Jackson’s death on September 15 was the second of nine siblings after that Michael Jackson died at the age of 50 in 2009. Tito Jackson was the third child of Joe and Katherine Jackson. His mother is among his survivors and is now 94.

Michael Jackson was buried fifteen years ago in a mausoleum at Glendale Cemetery near Los Angeles, where Elizabeth Taylor and Walt Disney are also buried. Joe Jackson was buried there in 2018.
