ET has obtained court papers indicating that Michael Jackson's Forest Lawn funeral expenses totaled nearly $1 million. Read on for the details...

A judge authorized the Jackson estate's special administrators to pay for cemetery and funeral charges totaling $855,730. Michael's burial site in the cemetery's Holly Terrace area amounted to $590,000; miscellaneous fees totaled roughly $176,000; and an endowment care (property) fee cost $88,500.

The administrators are also authorized to reimburse Janet Jackson with $49,372 -- the amount she paid of the $103,578 initial contract with Forest Lawn. The administrators are allowed to pay the remaining $54,206 balance as well.

Other expenses in connection with the funeral include nearly $12,000 for invitations and programs; $16,000 for flowers; $35,000 for Jackson's burial garments; and $30,000 for cars and security.
