A final resting place neighboring the stars will go on under the hammer in Los Angeles later this week.
A one-space mausoleum crypt in the vicinity of Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner will go on auction Saturday, when it is expected to reach between $200,000 and $400,000. The burial spot is notably one row above and four spaces to the left of Monroe’s final resting place at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in LA. It is marginally closer to her eternal neighbor, Hefner.
“Spending an eternity next to Marilyn is too sweet to pass up,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 2009. The paper reported that Hefner, who died in 2017, had spent $75,000 to secure his spot in 1992. The price of crypts at the famous LA memorial park has fluctuated over the years. In 2009, an eBay auction for the space directly above Monroe’s saw bidding reach over $4.6 million, though the sale reportedly fell through.
