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.
