Burial Plot next to Marilyn Monroe for sale on eBay

Filed under: Auctions

Fans of Marilyn Monroe have the opportunity to grab what could be the ultimate memento: a burial plot next to the late starlet. The plot is up for sale on eBay, with bids at the time of writing up to $710,000.

The plot belongs to Elsie Poncher, whose late husband's remains are currently interred there. The widow is reportedly selling the plot in a bid to pay off her seven-figure mortgage, and once the sale is complete, Poncher will have her husband's remains moved to another location. The crypt is located in Westwood Village Memorial Park, where Natalie Wood, Dean Martin and the recently passed Farah Fawcett are also buried. Hugh Hefner, whose Playboy Mansion is located in the same neighborhood, reportedly paid upwards of $80,000 for a crypt there in the same cemetery.

UPDATE: The crypt sold for $4.6 million.
