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

The casket -- ordered last night from Batesville Casket Company -- is called a Promethean and will feature a flame blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish.

This is the same casket used to bury James Brown... and is extremely rare.

I believe Scott (Newby) knows something about the Batesville folks.

Yes, the Promethean is rarely used. Most people that I know that have been buried in them have been the owners of funeral homes. They are extremely flashy. When I show caskets on a showroom I always call it the Elvis model which usually gets a chuckle.

The Marcellas Presidential Mahogany is more to my liking for a nice casket. It's the one used by every US president going way back.

I maybe be simple but I'd rather leave my grandchildren the extra 25,000 and throw me in the furnace??
