The burial vault above the grave of late screen siren Marilyn Monroe found no takers in a recent online auction. It is the second time that the bid for the marble crypt at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery has been unsuccessful, BBC News reports.

Elsie Poncher first tried selling her late husband Richard’s tomb, above the Hollywood actress’ remains, in August. That sale fell through after the winning bidder failed to deliver the multimillion check. Now, organizer of the second auction, Eric Gazin, from AuctionCause.com has said that the latest offer did not fetch any bids. While many people were pre-approved to bid on the crypt but nobody participated in the end.

Elsie reportedly wants to sell the space — which is in the same cemetery as Hollywood notables Farrah Fawcett and Dean Martin — in order to pay off the mortgage on her Beverly Hills home. She intends to move the remains of her husband to a neighboring plot once she sells the plot.

Gazin added the family is now “weighing their options.”

Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose in 1962.
