    Although no plans have been announced for Michael Jackson's funeral, security was tightened at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills on Friday (July 3), where his body is believed to be held.
    A small group of Los Angeles police officers arrived at the mortuary on Friday morning. The officers spoke with mortuary staff and walked around part of the memorial park.
    Among the celebrities who are buried at the park are Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, Buster Keaton and Liberace.
    Los Angeles city officials are planning a massive security operation for Michael Jackson's public memorial service in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday (July 7).
    The Jackson family have not released details of any funeral arrangements, but a spokesman said there would be no funeral procession to the Staples Center, where the public memorial will be staged.
