Michael Jackson's Funeral Cost One Million Dollars

According to the L.A. Times, Michael Jackson's funeral cost a whopping $1 million, including a ridiculous $35,000 for his diamond-encrusted burial outfit, and $16,000 for flowers. The ridiculously expensive funeral's cost was approved by a judge, which only adds another layer of craziness to the fact that a funeral cost $1 million. It's not like Mike knows how lavish it was.

I can't believe a suit could cost $35,000. I mean, that's more than I made in the last five years, and dude's skeleton is placed inside something that cost that much. I get that he's the King of Pop, but couldn't you have cut some costs by stopping by JcPenneys and buying him a modest sweat suit? Also, I don't even have to mention how ridiculous it is to spend $16,000 on flowers. Because it is crazy ridiculous. [LA Times]
