Michael Jackson may be gone but he is always with his children.
The music icon died in June 2009 from acute Propofol intoxication and his body is believed to have been cremated afterwards.
It is being claimed that Prince Michael, 22, Paris, 21, and 17-year-old Bigi wear his ashes encased in jewelry shaped like broken hearts.
A source told Radar Online: 'The ashes are now in necklaces like the one that Paris wore to Michael's memorial service and wrapped around his wrist as he lay in his open coffin.'
The siblings rarely wear their necklaces in public as they fear losing the precious mementos.
'They keep them in locked boxes at home, as they're afraid of losing the last remains of their father.'
The Thriller hitmaker's memorial was held in July 2009 and is estimated to have been viewed by over three million people.
His golden casket was publicly installed in a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Great Mausoleum in California, thought it was previously claimed his mother Katherine had actually had his body cremated in order to deter grave robbers and his coffin is actually empty.
It was previously reported Michael's children still continue to live their lives thinking the King of Pop is still around spiritually and is 'looking down upon them.'
The source added: 'The kids live like Michael is constantly looking down upon them.'
A source previously said 'Everyone thinks Michael is buried at Forest Lawn, but he's not.'

'The family has kept the secret for safety reasons and to fulfill Michael's wishes. But Katherine has privately revealed the truth to trusted friends.'
The matriarch of the Jackson family feared grave robbers would try to steal her son's body.
'Katherine was paranoid and scared someone would steal his body.'

Michael was used to putting on a show, so the family wanted the monument at Forest Lawn because so many Hollywood legends have been buried there.'
As well as ashes being placed into jewelry for his children, the source also told Radar that the remains were scattered at Neverland, Jackson's now infamous ranch.
'Michael's ashes were scattered at his beloved Neverland, which was very special to him.'
'The Giving Tree was his favorite spot on the property. He would spend hours there writing.'
