No Sale on Crypt Above Marilyn Monroe

No new neighbor for Marilyn Monroe. At least not yet.

There were no bids during the second auction of the marble mausoleum crypt above Monroe.

A previous $4.6 million bid for the space fell through in August.

The crypt above Monroe’s is owned by Elsie Poncher. Her husband’s interred there but she’ll move him and sell off the crypt to bring in some cash.

The auctioneer says several people were preapproved to bid on the crypt, but no one did during the 10-day auction.

He says the Poncher family is now “weighing their options.”
