Placing roses on MARILYN and BETTIE PAGE's grave.
I visit them every once and a while to pay my respects to these two beloved stars, and of course to Dean Martin, who was also a good friend of Marilyn's.
**SKIP TO 3:28 TO GET RIGHT TO HER GRAVE (Bettie Page is right before)
**Please Note: Nasty, Mean or downright hateful comments Will be removed at my discretion.
I want to make this clear that, NO I did not step on anyone's grave purposefully, as I try very carefully not to do so. On the grass, you are stepping above someone's Coffin, like anywhere else, inevitably as there is no space around them. I always tread carefully when at any gravesite. If I stepped all over the tombstones themselves, then yes it would be disrespectful. It is a very small cemetery and the graves are very close together. So any hurtful or rude comments will be removed.
Here's a video for anyone who wondered what it's like to visit Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, and Dean Martin at their final resting place at the Pierce Brothers Cemetery. The journey there and a trip around the grounds.
Dear Marilyn was laid to rest in an open bronze casket lined with champagne-colored satin. She was dressed in her green Pucci dress and a green chiffon scarf. In her hands was a posy of pink teacup roses, a gift from Joe DiMaggio, her second husband who had sat vigil over her all night...
Ps. Please refrain from kissing the grave, it's not exactly sanitary and leaves that stain. Blowing her a kiss is just as lovely and respectful:)
Enjoy!!

Note: The chapel has been remodeled, I was informed by the MMCollector that it is now completely different inside than it was at the time of Marilyn's funeral such as: There was carpet flooring, bench seats, wall paneling, and different light fixtures but the building is the same.
