The music patriarch told the New York Daily News that his son will be laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles at 10am on August 29.
It is understood that the burial plans were made over the past few days.
Jackson is also reported to have said that he is supporting the LAPD's investigation into his son's death but believes that Dr Conrad Murray could be made "the fall guy for a whole lot of people".
He added that his wife Katherine, who lives separately from him, is still coming to terms with the singer's death and frequently bursts into tears.
It was previously reported that the popstar's body had been moved to a freezer locker at the cemetery after officials warned of a potential security risk.
