A grave marker from Marilyn Monroe's crypt at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary in Los Angeles. The front of the brass plaque is brown with gold-tone trim and the gold-tone letters read "MARILYN MONROE / 1926 - 1962." The back has been hand-etched with the words "415 Westwood," stamped with the words "MAKE TWO PATTERNS FOR MARGE," and features two holes for the bolts that attached it to the front of the crypt. 

Monroe died unexpectedly at age 36 on August 4, 1962 and was interred following a private funeral that took place in the cemetery chapel on August 8. Monroe fans from around the world continue to make pilgrimages to the cemetery to pay respects to the entertainer. The constant touching of the marker has led to minor wear causing it to be replaced as needed.
