Is marilyn monroe buried or cremated and what is a crypt and can it be opened?
On August 8, 1962, Monroe was interred in a crypt at Corridor of Memories #24, at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. Lee Strasberg delivered the eulogy. The crypt space immediately to the left of Monroe's was bought and reserved by Hugh Hefner in 1992.[137] DiMaggio took control of the funeral arrangements which consisted of only 31 close family and friends. Police were also present to keep the press away.[138] Her casket was solid bronze and was lined with champagne colored silk.[139] Allan “Whitey” Snyder did her make-up which was supposedly a promise made in earlier years if she were to die before him.[139] She was wearing her favorite green Emilio Pucci dress.[139] In her hands was a small bouquet of pink teacup roses.[139] For the next 20 years, red roses were placed in a vase attached to the crypt, courtesy of Joe DiMaggio.[138] In August 2009, the crypt space directly above that of Monroe was placed for auction[140] on eBay. Elsie Poncher plans to exhume her husband and move him to an adjacent plot. She advertised the crypt, hoping "to make enough money to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage" on her Beverly Hills mansion.[137] The winning bid was placed by an anonymous Japanese man for $4.6 million,[141] but the winning bidder later backed out "because of the paying problem". Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner, who never met Monroe, bought the crypt next to hers at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery. He affirmed that the initial success of his magazine directly correlated with Monroe

What is the most surprising thing you have seen for sale on E Bay?
We once listed the crypt above Marilyn Monroe. Family who had loved one there was willing to move him to an adjacent plot so that the eBay winner could spend “eternity on top of Marilyn.” Sounds odd, but the family needed money and their loved one had a big sense of humor after he bought the plot from Joe DiMaggio in the 1950s. After the family listed the crypt and buyer did not follow through, We relisted it. Here is one story about the first listing - Above Marilyn Monroe's Crypt a Man is Buried Face-DownHere is our story when we relisted it(sadly, it did not sell) -Crypt Above Marilyn Monroe Back on eBay
