Post by: thundley4 on August 24, 2009, 08:12:47 PM: Quote
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An American widow sold her husband's burial crypt directly on top of film legend Marilyn Monroe's final resting place for $4.6 million on Monday, through online auctioneer eBay Inc.

Elsie Poncher has said she was selling the crypt in a small, celebrity-heavy cemetery in Los Angeles to pay off her mortgage.

The auction opened earlier this month at $500,000 and attracted 21 bids before closing on Monday. eBay did not say who submitted the winning bid.

"We are currently working with the seller and the high bidder to finalize the sale and will be happy to report more of the details once the sale has been completed," it said in a statement.

When I heard this reported the first of the week....it was reported that the woman's husband was entombed there.....face down ....in his casket.... ::)

I would have tried to sell it too....and cremated the husband.....scattered his ashes....in the toilet.... :evillaugh:

that's why there were two hearses to move his body. One was decoy, and his body is headed to California. :thatsright:
