Laura Lee's Sin Bin - Dead People

from WAPL Mornings with Laura Lee & Cutter · host Laura Lee and Cutter

Celebrity worship has officially outlived the celebrities themselves. According to the New York Post, some die-hard fans are shelling out anywhere from $50,000 to nearly $200,000 just to be buried near famous people. One tech investor spent $195,000 on a crypt near Marilyn Monroe, proudly saying it was his chance to "spend eternity" with her—and he still sends flowers to her grave every birthday. Another fan paid more than $50,000 for what's essentially a shoebox-sized urn niche near Judy Garland, while Hollywood Forever Cemetery says people routinely ask for plots next to stars like Johnny Ramone and Neil Sedaka. Apparently, the hottest real estate market isn't beachfront—it's celebrity-adjacent cemetery space. If you've got a couple hundred grand burning a hole in your pocket, forget leaving it to your kids... just buy yourself an eternity of being ignored by someone who was already dead before you got there
