Michael Jackson will be buried (at some point) with his single iconic white glove at the request of sister La Toya Jackson. Whether he will be wearing the glove or not is still uncertain.
According to TMZ.com the woman who designed gloves for the Jackson's planned "This Is It" tour, Dorothy Gaspar, said that sister La Toya Jackson wanted Michael to wear the iconic glove inside the casket. The site also reported that La Toya chose a white leather glove covered in Swarovski crystals first designed by Gaspar 10 years ago.
Access Hollywood has reported that the singer will be buried with the white glove, but he will be wearing black gloves in the casket. The site stated that La Toya is heavily involved in funeral decisions.
At Jackson's memorial service Tuesday at the Staples Center, the Jackson brothers all wore matching yellow ties, sunglasses and a single glittering white glove.
Where Jackson is to be buried has not been confirmed. Reports have said that the singer's remains are at the Forest Lawns Memorial Park in Los Angeles. The possibility of a burial at Jackson's Neverland Ranch also remains open.
The LA Times points out that other celebrities have been buried in special clothing and personal items. Actor Bela Lugosi, famous for his role as Dracula, was buried in his high-collared vampire cape.
