Memorial Day and eBay… a Strange Pairing..

When I started looking up Memorial Day stuff.. I thought i would be interesting to see what was selling… I thought MAYBE there would be some flags, stamps or vintage post cards. I had NO idea the top Memorial Day term would be for a cemetary. It makes sense.. it just surprised me.

Pretty high dollar place to be buried huh?

Here’s what they say about it: World-famous Westwood Memorial Park is serenely nestled in the heart of West Los Angeles and is a favorite final resting place of many Hollywood movie stars and movie industry greats. The gravesites for sale in this auction are each double depth plots allowing for 4 caskets, thus perfectly accommodating a family. The graves are in the very desirable center section of the park where there are no longer any sites available for sale by the cemetery.
