TMZ- Michael Jackson -- Tales from the Crypt

Does anyone else notice that once we bring up TMZ and being watched, they run a story that ticks us off? Well they have delivered yet again with this one.

Michael Jackson -- Tales from the Crypt


Posted Sep 8th 2009 2:00AM by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson's body is already causing a market shift in the cemetery world -- the price of graves near his tomb are already sky-rocketing.

TMZ spoke with a sales rep at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale who told us plots surrounding Jackson have already gone up $2,000-$3,000 each since MJ joined the neighborhood.

FLM was selling pre-Jacko units in the mausoleum for $7,000 a pop -- now they're up to $9,900.

The cemetery rep tells us, "When a high-profile person comes in, it can affect the prices of the surrounding plots."

Some
people who own private units near MJ's crypt are looking for a bigger
payday -- one person is asking $34,000 for a double unit inside
Jackson's mausoleum.

We spoke with owner of the double unit who told us, "We've had a tremendous response ... we're weighing all of our options."

how can they sell plots very near to MJ's grave, when the jackson family has bought all the plots close to MJ (as reported by you, TMZ dorks)?
