See how Michael Jackson's face has changed over the years.
Jackson's mother, Katherine, and his siblings were among the intimate group at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
At around 7 p.m., Jackson's body was driven to the Hall of Liberty building for what sources tell Usmagazine.com was a viewing. Bodyguards attempted to shield the draped casket from the view of overhead helicopters and photographers.
A private funeral is expected to take place early Tuesday morning at the same location.

Fans will get a chance to say goodbye to the King of Pop at a public memorial service to be held at L.A.'s Staples Center on Tuesday.
The service will take place at the same venue – which has a capacity of 20,000 – where Jackson rehearsed for his London concert tour just two days before he died on June 25 at the age of 50.
A simulcast of the memorial service will occur at the Nokia Theater across the street.
