Michael Jackson's final resting place today -- marking his 3-year death anniversary -- all courtesy of some very devoted fans.
A MJ fan group based in L.A. tells TMZ ... they used social media sites to raise money from fans all over the world for the memorial project ... finally collecting over $30k.
All that green bought a lot of flowers ... over 10,000 roses were delivered to Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA today -- where the King of Pop was laid to rest in 2009 -- all to honor the late-singer on the anniversary of his death.
What's more -- we're told the roses will be put to good use and recycled after today ... over half will be sent to senior centers and other places where they can be used to make people happy.
Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009 ... he was 50.

Lil Wayne Intervenes In Drake, Chris Brown Feud
Report says that Weezy is playing mediator in an effort to bring the beef to an end.
Drake and Chris Brown aren't exactly on the best terms of late, but the two may have found a mediator in one Lil Wayne. New reports that the Young Money leader has taken a personal interest in resolving the issues between Drake and Chris, since a rift between one of his artists and one of the biggest pop stars around is bad for business.
According to TMZ, Drizzy has recently received several calls from Wayne, Birdman, Mack Maine and others urging him to make peace with Brown. The rapper's colleagues reportedly want the two artists to reconcile so there won't be anything stopping YMCMB artists from making hits with the crossover singer.
Drake hasn't reached out to Brown since last week's infamous club brawl. The melee reportedly erupted when Drake rejected a peace offering of expensive champagne from Breezy, responding to the gesture by sending a crude written message about Rihanna to Brown's table.

Wayne, for his part, has made a point of downplaying feuds recently. Yesterday he said there was no beefbetween himself and G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T, despite a recent war of words between the two rappers.
Tuned In: Kim Kardashian Insists Her Relationship with Kanye West Isn't About Publicity
(Bauer Griffin)
Since the first days of the flashbulb-laden relationship, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have faced rumors that they're more into attention than they are each other. Yet Kim insists that she's not faking it for the cameras, so there's a chance West's next album will be full of cheesy love ballads. We'd love to hear him belt out a love ballad.
Also in music news, Samuel L. Jackson makes a horrifying Nicki Minaj, Willow Smith has a pierced tongue, and Demi Lovato's covering Chris Brown. The world is a strange, strange place.
• The world remains skeptical of Kimye. Perhaps it's because Kim Kardashian famously divorced her last significant other after just 72 days, leading the scorned Kris Humphries to allege that she'd defrauded him for publicity's sake. Or maybe it's the timing of it all: Kanye dropped a new song referencing his passion for Kim, and later that day they were out for ice cream and toy shopping.
Whatever the case, Kim Kardashian's running defense these days. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the television personality insisted, "It's your heart you're playing with. I couldn't sacrifice my heart for a publicity stunt."
Kim was spotted getting her tepid, emotionless groove on with Beyoncé at a Birmingham, EnglandWatch the Throne concert over the weekend. While she shot down marriage rumors — she is still technically married to that "romantical" NBA player she dumped — she acknowledged that it's something serious: "To have him in my life this way, says a lot about us."
