You can be buried next to Marilyn Monroe if you’ve got $200,000 - $400,000 (£157,000 to £314,000) to spare.
Julien’s Auctions have announced that as part of their Thursday, 28, 29, and 30 March auction of Monroe and Hugh Hefner’s personal items a one-space mausoleum crypt located in the Corridor of Memories, Wall B, Space C-3 at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary in Los Angeles, California will be on offer.
It is situated one row above and four spaces to the left of Monroe's lipstick-stained crypt which continues to be visited by her fans from all over the world who continue to make pilgrimages to the cemetery to pay respects to her.
Baseball legend and Monroe's ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio, organized a private funeral for her that took place in the cemetery chapel on 8 August, 1962. DiMaggio is reported to have chosen this location because Grace Goddard and Ana Lower, who had both helped care for Monroe as a young girl, had been buried there. Monroe died at the age 36 on August 4th, 1962. Hefner purchased the crypt to the immediate left of hers in 1992 and was interred there shortly after his death in 2017. In a 2009 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hefner stated, "Spending eternity next to Marilyn is an opportunity too sweet to pass up."
Among the other show business legends interred at Pierce Brothers Westwood are Natalie Wood, Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal, Truman Capote, Twentieth Century Fox president Darryl F. Zanuck, Monroe's Some Like It Hot costar Jack Lemmon, and Billy Wilder, who directed Monroe in The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot.
This crypt in one of the most famous resting places in the world next to these two Hollywood icons joins the previously announced three-day auction containing over 1,000 artifacts from the early life of the legendary magazine founder to the Playboy era’s heyday, direct from the Playboy Headquarters and Mansion and Playboy Enterprises, and personal property consisting of film wardrobe, photographs, documents and ephemera from the life of Marilyn Monroe.
