Physical Description	1 photograph :b&w
Historical Data	Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was found dead in her bedroom on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36. Though her death was listed as a suicide, it has since become one of the most debated conspiracy theories to date. Monroe was buried in what was known at that time as the "Cadillac of caskets". A hermetically sealing antique-silver-finished 48-ounce (heavy gauge) solid broze "masterpiece" casket lined with champagne-colored satin-silk. She was interred in a pink marble crypt at the "Corridor of Memories", #24, near the northeast corner of the park. The service was the second one held at the then-newly build chapel at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, located at 1218 Glendon Avenue in Westwood; only 25 people were given permission to attend.
Description	Joe DiMaggio, his son and pastor, after Marilyn was at rest. Joe regains his composure after nearly breaking down from grief. He poses with Marine son, Joe Jr., and Rev. A. J. Soldan. August 9, 1962.
