Vineland, NJ (WFN) -- Mary McMaster and Jose P. Torres are mortuary students by day, casino cashiers by night and Princess Diana fans 24/7. The Vineland, New Jersey, couple owns more than 1400 pieces of memorabilia in the image of the late royal, including oddities like a pair of slippers bearing plastic heads in the likeness of Diana and Prince Charles and a plate commemorating their royal divorce. The collectors keep most of their stuff in storage but have a bedroom in their house dedicated to Di, complete with a Diana tea set, stamp collection and 60 plates on the walls. Torres' and McMaster's passion isn't just folly. They've pooled their knowledge of Di trinkets to compile a price guide for other collectors, the first volume of which is currently available. But the book series, titled "Diana, An Illustrated Collection and Price Guide" (1stbooks), isn't the couple's only big project. When they graduate from mortuary school, Torres would like to open a funeral home and McMaster says they would consider doing Di-themed funerals for fans.
