People Are Buying Graves Next to Their Favorite Celebrity

Call it the “ultimate fan club . . . for the afterlife”. Celebrity superfans are spending serious money, to be buried next to their idols. One Marilyn Monroe fan paid $195,000, for a mausoleum crypt near her final resting place. A Judy Garland fan spent more than $50,000 on an urn niche right next to her. In New York’s Woodlawn Cemetery, plots near jazz legends Miles Davis and Duke Ellington can cost over $70,000. And at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, burial spots start around $200,000 (custom mausoleums as much as $6 million dollars)! Signs you’ve taken celebrity worship too far . . . your retirement plan includes a cemetery map, and even your funeral director says, “That’s a little creepy.”
