2012 Marilyn Monroe Memorial Service Announcement

Keep the Legend Alive: Donate to the 2012 Marilyn Monroe Memorial Fund

The Marilyn Remembered Fan Club, the entity arranging the memorial service since 1982, is offering fans around the world the opportunity to become personally involved in the memorial service by becoming a sponsor of the 2012 memorial service. Note that 100% of donations will be used to fund memorial service and reception costs, including but not limited to a $500.00 facility rental fee to hold the service in the chapel at Westwood Memorial Park (the same chapel where Marilyn’s actual funeral services were held), the rental of the reception hall at Westwood Presbyterian Church, memorial service program printing costs, flowers for the service and Marilyn’s crypt, chairs and canopies for additional seating, lunch at the reception following the memorial service, etc. We are expecting a very large turnout for the memorial this year and expenses for the service and the reception are anticipated to be immense. As you are aware, Marilyn Remembered Fan Club membership is free, and we feel it is most fair that club members and fans helping to offset memorial service and reception costs be ensured a seat in the chapel. Accordingly, the first 100 fans donating $20.00 or more will receive a reserved seat in the chapel for the memorial service. We do realize that expenses are great for some fans traveling to Los Angeles for the service this year. We hope everyone will understand our need to allow fans to help fund what will be the largest ever Marilyn Monroe memorial service, with special benefits being provided to those who help with expenses associated with the service.
