Michael Jackson's burial, which originally was set for what would have been his 51st birthday on Aug. 29, has been rescheduled for Sept. 3, his family announced.

Jackson, who died June 25 of cardiac arrest – possibly related to taking a powerful anesthetic – will be laid to rest in a mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif.

The private burial "will be limited to family and close friends," according to a family statement.
