'Michael Jackson's coffin'

A $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold-plated, custom casket has been ordered for Michael Jackson, according to reports.

Showbiz website TMZ.com says the King of Pop will be laid to rest in the same kind of casket as James Brown.

The rare Promethean casket, reported to have been ordered from Indiana-based Batesville Casket Company last night, has a blue velvet interior and mirror finish.

Jackson's funeral will be held Tuesday at the Staples Centre, the home of LA Lakers in Los Angeles.
