Brown to be buried in mausoleum

Nearly three weeks after James Brown's funeral, the Godfather of Soul is yet to be buried and his former partner is contesting his will in a bid to receive half of his estate.

The singer's body is being kept in a temperature-controlled room at his home in South Carolina in the bronze and gold-plated coffin used for his funeral in Augusta, Georgia, on December 30, funeral director Charlie Reid said today.
