( CNN ) -- As Michael Jackson fans and the media pour into Los Angeles , California , for what could be the most widely watched memorial of all time , an obvious question remains : Where will he be laid to rest ? Bette Davis is among the notables buried at the Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn park . Although the Jackson family has n't made an official statement , all signs seem to point toward Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries , the not-for-profit organization that has buried a vast number of Hollywood 's notables . Forest Lawn officials were working with the Jackson family on their plans , which were part of `` a package '' of events Tuesday , said Jim McDonnell , assistant chief of staff of the Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday . His comments , however , did not answer questions about where or when Jackson would be buried . There is speculation that the burial will be at Forest Lawn 's Glendale location , but the media are swarming around the Hollywood Hills memorial park , located right off the freeway behind Disney Studios . Tito Jackson 's ex-wife , Delores `` Dee Dee '' Jackson , is believed to be buried there . Forest Lawn Memorial is the first stop tourists make in search of the crypts of Hollywood greats . Numerous books and Web sites such as findagrave.com and seeing-stars.com claim to have insider knowledge about celebrity grave locations on the properties , but Forest Lawn is unrelentingly secretive about who , exactly , is entombed in its parks . `` We hold the privacy of our client families in very high regard , '' said Bill Martin , spokesman for the Glendale location , which is considered the `` mother lode '' for celebrity grave hunters . `` There are certain areas and property types that have limited access . '' The tombs of Sammy Davis Jr. , Humphrey Bogart and Jean Harlow are in locked areas not accessible to the general public , according to findagrave.com . With that kind of commitment to privacy , it 's understandable why Jackson , known for being reclusive , might be buried there . Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks , who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks , said she would n't be surprised if Jackson were to be buried at either location . Burks was first drawn to Forest Lawn Glendale because of its artwork and statuary , but once she found out that celebrities were `` buried with the regular people , '' she said , she began to grave hunt . `` We leave flowers and take pictures , '' Burks said of her time at famous graves . `` It 's the way of remembering someone who made a difference , who cheered me up when I was a kid or entertained me . With Michael Jackson ... if he ends up at a cemetery , I 'll definitely go and take flowers . They feel like a member of the family , so you treat them like a member of the family . '' Even if you ca n't find a way to see your favorite celebrity 's crypt , Los Angeles residents said that just stepping foot in the park is an experience in itself . `` I know for some people cemeteries can be intimidating or just where you go to mourn . But at Forest Lawn , it is n't sad ; it 's really a beautiful place , '' said Beth Zeigler , an Echo Park , California , professional who frequents the park 's museum . But if you call any of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuaries a cemetery , you would be remiss . There are certainly graves behind the Glendale park 's majestic wrought-iron gates , but that 's where the similarities end . Amid its 300 acres , the park has three churches , replicas of all of Michelangelo 's works and a copy of Leonardo da Vinci 's `` The Last Supper '' in stained glass . Instead of above-ground tombstones , the park uses flat , engraved markers for grave sites , so from afar all you can see are grassy hills . The memorial park draws over a million visitors each year , including 70,000 who come to get married . Built in 1906 as a traditional cemetery , Forest Lawn was revamped by Dr. Hubert Eaton in 1917 . Like Jackson , Eaton was `` an icon [ of his ] time , '' said Laura Kath , author of `` 100 Years in the Life of Forest Lawn . '' `` [ Eaton ] is the man who first envisioned the memorial park concept , that cemeteries should not be filled with tombstones but should celebrate the life of those entombed there and celebrate the living , '' Kath said , `` and people loved the whole concept . Eaton was a visionary . '' Burks agrees whole-heartedly with Eaton 's vision . `` Cemeteries are for the living , '' Burks said about her visits to celebrity tombs . `` We 're remembering them . It sounds crazy , but I dare anyone to do it , and I 'd bet it would make them feel good . ''
