Michael Jackson was the true King of Pop, and his death, like his life, was shrouded in loud scandals: the singer died in 2009 from an overdose of propofol, for which his personal doctor was to blame. 
Jackson was buried only two months after his death in the “Great Mausoleum” of Hollywood Forest Lawn Cemetery. Among the guests were only relatives and close friends of the singer, but several hundred journalists received accreditation, and live The ceremony was watched by millions of Americans.

Another $31,000 went to the London Ambulance Service. It is not surprising that numerous protests arose among citizens, because not everyone was happy with Thatcher’s policies, and therefore not everyone was happy with the spending of money from the budget.
Sir Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister, writer, laureate Nobel Prize in literature and an honorary citizen of the United States, was buried with even greater pomp. 
Because Churchill played a major role in ending World War II, his funeral in 1965 was a ceremony reserved only for members of the royal family.

The emperor's funeral cortege consisted of 70 cars. They, along with escort services, spent $24 million. 
Another $22 million was spent on the construction of a pavilion in Shinzyuku Gehen Park for funeral rites over Hirohito's body, which were attended by 225 people.
