Marilyn Monroe was buried in an expensive luxury casket which was the top of the line product of the renown Belmont casket company of Columbus, Ohio (with another factory at Shadyside, Ohio), a firm which originally had become famous for its high quality lead-coated, corrosion resistant steel caskets, which were used also for the burials of President Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson.
Marilyn Monroe's casket was a silver finished "Masterpiece" solid bronze casket, which was made of extra strong 15 ga wrought bronze (meaning partially 48 ounce per square foot sheets and partially 64oz sheets), resulting in a casket weight between 300 and 400 lbs empty. The casket had a hermetically sealed double lid, but no additional inner glass panel. The interior was of champagne colored hand tufted velvet with some satin and silk. The "Masterpiece" design, which soon became known as the "Cadillac of Caskets", had been registered by Belmont as trademark in 1957.
After the Belmont company had been closed in the 1980s, the "Masterpiece" and some other Belmont designs were bought by the VerPlank casket company of Iron City, Tennessee. Since then, the "Masterpiece" underwent only some very minor changes (with regard to the handles for example). Thus, the silver finished 48oz double lid "Masterpiece twin seal" shown in the VerPlank Online catalog still looks more or less the same as Marilyn Monroe's casket.

What casket was president Lyndon Johnson buried in?
Quite a few people seem to be convinced that LBJ was buried in an oak casket, maybe because they have seen pictures of his graveside under a group of oak trees on his farm in the Texas Hill Country. But, as a matter of fact, he was buried in velvet lined silver-gray metal casket with dark swing bar handles manufactured by the (former) Belmont Casket Company of Columbus, Ohio. The round corner design of timeless simplicity was probably the "Columbus" model of the renown company, which had the reputation of producing stylish caskets of high quality. Belmont had also manufactured the solid bronze "Masterpiece" casket of Marilyn Monroe, but the company was first of all famous for its lead coated steel caskets, which had a corrosion resistant property. Already President Woodrow Wilson had been buried in a steel casket made by the Belmont company.
