"They [still] haven't decided," a source close to the family says, PEOPLE reports.
The problem is that some family members want him buried at Neverland while others would prefer somewhere else -- especially his mother.
Katherine Jackson has been against using Neverland as his final resting place. "She thinks it's a place of horrible memories. She says Michael wouldn't want to be there," the source claims.
But, she's willing to change her mind with a few conditions. "Katherine is still opposed to Michael being buried at Neverland, but would relent if it could be arranged for Michael's children to gain ownership of the property. If they could have complete ownership, Katherine would approve," the insider adds.
