Some people like to collect autographs from celebrities, while others want a selfie. Then, there are the “cemetery stalkers” who are paying to be buried near their favorite celebrities. A Marilyn Monroe fan paid $195,000 for a one-space mausoleum crypt near her resting place in Los Angeles.
The staff at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park, where many celebrities are buried, say 70% of their plots have been sold in advance because of proximity to certain celebrities. One Judy Garland fan bought a glass-front niche just steps from Dorothy herself for around $50,000.
