Sorry this is sad - sick but true.
Who would think of this?
A widow in Los Angeles has decided to sell her husband's burial spot directly above Marilyn Monroe.
(She says she needs the money.)
Elsie Poncher has put the burial spot on eBay.
The pitch:
"The person occupying the address right now is looking face down on her."
Bidding for the plot - started..

From the eBay listing (320412140795):
"Here is a once in a lifetime and into eternity opportunity to spend your eternal days directly above Marilyn Monroe."
Apparently not, since your heirs can evidently cash in on the real estate whenever they need the money.

That is some mighty fine real estate that can only increase in value.

It is likely the only piece of real estate in California that is going up in value.

Could be the next real estate bubble. Think of all the dead celebrities, and think of how many graves are within spitting distance of their grave sites.

There may be plenty of dead celebrities but there is only one tomb on top of Marilyn.

Bidding for the plot - started at $500,000.
By Sunday night the bidding had reached $2.5 million.
The winning bid gets the crypt - after the remains of Mr. Poncher are moved.
Rolling my eyes ... sick ...

Ew, he's so decrepit.
I bet Monroe looks better right now than Heff does in real life. This is terribly morbid.

I don't think it's morbid at all. All the power to the person if she can get 2.75 million. I'm sure the person in the tomb doesn't mind.

Great post! I'm sure she has consulted a lawyer.
Reuters has a bit more detail:
Poncher told the Los Angeles Times that she hoped to raise enough money to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.
"I can't be more honest than that," she told the newspaper. "I want to leave it free and clear for my kids."
The Westwood Village Memorial Park is home to many celebrities, including Dean Martin, James Coburn, Roy Orbison, Truman Capote, Natalie Wood, and, from this year, Farrah Fawcett.

Left this part out:
Elsie Poncher said she would move her husband's remains over one spot into a crypt intended as her final resting place if the sale was successful and she would be cremated instead when the time came.
