Sgt. Tom Lorenz of Glendale police estimated crowds, which were hindered by limited parking and an uphill hike to get to Jackson's resting place, at 5,000. The visitors had limited access to the cemetery, and they were described as being well-behaved.
Some of Jackson's relatives and friends were allowed to attend a private service inside the mausoleum.
