The Ultimate Marilyn Purchase -- The Crypt Above Her

If you've got in excess of $4.5 million dollars to burn, you can spend eternity above Marilyn Monroe.

I'm not sure how Mr. Poncher is going to feel about being moved from looking down on Marilyn Monroe to looking down on Hugh Hefner, but this NPR blog has an ominous overtone. There will be hell to pay, so any prospective buyers of Mr. Poncher's tomb had better think twice.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Richard Poncher asked that he be laid to rest face down -- over Monroe's crypt -- and his wife says she made sure his request was fulfilled:
Right after the funeral, Elsie said, she told the funeral director of her husband's wish. "I was standing right there, and he turned him over," she said.
Richard Poncher also vowed to haunt his wife if she didn't do what he asked. So, perhaps she'd better watch out if she follows through on this auction.

As the photo I've posted illustrates, the vacant crypt beside Marilyn belongs to Hugh Hefner, and Mrs. Poncher owns the crypt beside her husband and will move him there -- directly above Hef. All I have to say is "ick."
