A USD 25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated, custom casket has been ordered for Michael Jackson, the site for celebrity news TMZ, which first reported his death, said.

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.

Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums -- including "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" -- and electrifying stage presence made him one of the most popular artists of all time, died June 25,

He was 50.

He collapsed at his residence in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, California, about noon Pacific time, suffering cardiac arrest. He died at UCLA Medical Center.
