On the one hand, I think it kind of crude to consider being buried on top of Marilyn Monroe, I mean, what is the point? They even put him in face-downward, as was his dying wish, presumably so his corpse could be symbolically f*cking her corpse forever and ever. What wife would not be angry over that?
On the other hand, you have to stop and think for a second about a woman who is exhuming her dead husband, removing him from his chosen place of rest, just to make money. I mean, when you choose a resting place, and pay for it, there is an assumption that they're not going to pop you out of there after a few years and move you somewhere else.
You also have to wonder if Monroe's "partner" will forever be changing, so that, if you buy this plot, you can only expect to be there for a few years until someone else wants to sell your burial place to the highest bidder. This is a kind of fraud, really, but then, once you're dead, you don't get refunds, do you?
Imagine, Monroe's corpse getting an unending string of partners for all eternity. In a sense, they're making Monroe into a kind of dead prostitute.
