Michael Jackson has sent property prices soaring for the graves surrounding his final resting place, a sales rep at Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale tells TMZ. The cemetery has hiked the price of plots near the late singer's tomb as much as $3,000 from the usual $7,000 since Jackson moved in. Private units near Jackson's crypt are selling for even higher, with one owner now seeking $34,000 for a double unit. (More Michael Jackson stories.)
