Scroll down for Michael Jackson Memorial Service Full Video
Yes, I am one of the people who is searching for the Michael Jackson memorial service full video. I’ve come across several sites that promise “Michael Jackson Memorial service repeat” or “Michael Jackson memorial service download,” but each time I am foiled, so I decided to collect YouTube videos of the full service. Watch them at the end of this post.
Other sites that say they have the “Michael Jackson memorial service full video” display a message that says “video no longer available” when I try to play it.
Who’s holding out? And why …
So it appears the source of the video has been cut off. There are a few reasons why this might happen. One is that the family or some other powers that be want it withheld from the internet out of respect.
However, given that it was televised, streamed live over the internet and attended by tens of thousands of people, that is highly unlikely. Could someone be holding on to the video to make some cash instead of getting a payday loan? Yes, I think so.
Great business sense, but not very ethical
It’s a no-brainer that someone could charge for downloads of the Michael Jackson memorial service full video and make a whole pile of cash. However, I don’t think MJ would like the idea of his memorial video only being available to people with credit cards.
Also, I don’t want to be one of those blog posts that promises “Michael Jackson memorial service full video” and then gives you nothing. I have compiled a whole bunch of YouTube videos that show the service, beginning to end. There are a couple of video montages missing, but other than that I think I got the whole thing, and they are in order. Enjoy!

Thanks because I thought my internet was acting up. Glad I found this link. Although I watched the memorial service from work, I missed a bit having to step away from my desk at times. I still cannot believe he is gone. I saw This Is It 4 times and hope to catch it again. Can’t wait for my DVD to arrive. It was like a movie concert to me. MJ could still get down. He voice still sounded great and I wished he had lost that pointed shoulder black jacket; and the red skinny pants (haha). It made him him look like he was kinned to the joker…But that was Mike – his own style. I’ve not listened to any other music Mon-Sat. It’s all MJ music. Still buying MJ music, DVD’s of tours, etc. I must help keep some pocket change in his mom’s purse (lol). Elvis’ fans are still supporting him after his death & I plan on continuing to support MJ. Thanks again!!!
thanks for posting this
Thank you so much for doing this. It’s great. You might want to add the ending closing speech by Marlon. It was very touching and is also on ytube.
Thanks again.
Thank you so much for such a selfless gift to all those who are still hurting and couldn’t watch the service live. I have cried the entire way through it. As Jermaine has said countless times, he was a gift from ALAH and ALAH has called him back. We have been blest to have lived in this era.
I watched the memorial numerous times thank you for recording michaels memorial, michael was a beautiful person, his memories will always remain…. I still have to remind myself that this has really happened, may michaels soul forever lay in peace… Love Ya Michael… We will still be here , and we will still care….
Thanks for taking the time to compile this. Unfortunately, some of the linked files are gone, however, a youtube user called empireravenshadow5 is providing full 3-hour coverage in HD. Check here:

Thank you for taking the time and effort to extend an act of kindness to the public. I greatly appreciate you for posting this because I was unable to watch the whole memorial due to being at work. Thank you.
Also you should add the video where the band played “The Man in the Mirror” with the spotlight on the empty mike; I think this was after Paris spoke but before the minister came on. They carried Michael’s coffin out during this. I thought it was very moving.

Thank you!!!!!!! I was so disheartened when the video sites were all blocked. This was too great for anyone to have missed! A long overdue tribute.
Bless you for making this possible. I had searched and searched and found this purely by accident. I have a family member who was unable to see the full service and you have made this important moment in OUR HISTORY possible.

Thanks for pulling this together. It makes it so much easier to share a moment that we all a part of, but which we could all all share during tv-land’s pre-scheduled time slot. I would just add one more link to your list, and that is of the brothers speaking about michael, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6sGAVU5XmY
thank you sooo much for compiling these videos.
Thank you. It’s very kind of you to put the work into publishing these clips on the internet. However, this collection still does not have the part I have been looking for . . . when they brought the caseket into the arena.

Thank you so very much for this. I was away on vacation and was unable to be a part of this day in history. I grew up with Michael and I wanted to be able to celebrate his life by watching this service. I have been searching for a replay all over my digital cable to no avail. Your thoughtfulness and kindness in putting the work into compiling the service is a credit to the message of love and fellowship that MJ lived for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3
Thank you for posting the full memorial service. I was unable to watch it live and I thank you for your time to put this together for everyone to say a belated goodbye to Michael.
thanks for doing the right thing for us the people to watch without paying. I tried to find site that promise the full service but were not true with out the cash. MJ gave and you have done what he would have done. I thanked you for your intergity and for your love of MJ’s fan in the giving.
