well if there is any justice in this world whoever paid for it will be taking up "residence" sooner rather than later, Nod

ok so you have the odd 3 mill knocking about in loose change, you aint sure what to do with it, but you would like to be "remebered" after you have gone? heres a CRAZY IDEA, why not spend it on building a school or a health centre somewhere in the 3rd world? why...they could even NAME it after you THAT should flatter you "ex" ego, and do some GOOD at the same time, Nod

I suppose it depends on your morals and/or ethics whether having lots of money is okay or not. Someone who claims to be a Christian and has things like an LCD TV and family holidays is probably in breach of their ethics as I suppose Christians should be giving their coats to anyone who asks and embracing a Jesus-like lifestyle. I'm quite hedonistic and an atheist so I'm not obliged to give any money away. Smiler

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Marilyn is in a wall-type crypt, rather than buried - and it's the slot in the wall above hers that has just been sold.

No-one knows what the current occupant thinks about being moved, just so his loving widow can make million or two.. Ghost

Mind you I think pretty much the same about people who would spend over ÂĢ50 on a handbag, a watch or a ÂĢ5 T-shirt with a ÂĢ45 label on it Roll Eyes

The link shows a burial vault, had I not have looked, I would have assumed they were digging up a grave. It makes sense to sell such an asset, (the dead husband has been lying 'face down' for 23yrs, he got his wish Big Grin) if you are struggling to pay your mortgage. However, your point about the buyer is valid. Having a building project for the desperate would have made more sense.

It's pure indulgent selfishness! Mad

If I had that sort of money (the chance would be a fine thing) I'd do a Simon Cowell... Have a bloody good lifestyle while giving plenty to those that really need it, then when I pass away I'd leave everything to good causes, leaving just enough to make my loved ones comfortable.

As to my final 'arrangements', well, a simple cremation (the greener the better) and no memorial plaque. My final resting place will be in the hearts of those who loved me and they have my permission to flush my ashes down the loo.
