For decades, Lisa Marie Presley had planned on being buried with her relatives at Graceland. "All the graves are lined up and there's a spot there, waiting for me, right next to my grandmother," she told Playboy in 2003, per the Daily Mail. That same year, Lisa Marie also wrote about the lawn's cemetery in her song "Lights Out."
In 2020, Lisa Marie's only son, Benjamin Keough, was buried there. According to the BBC, Benjamin died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. After Lisa Marie's death, Riley Keough, her oldest daughter and Benjamin's sister, stated, "Lisa Marie's final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben" (via People).
However, the estate needed to reconfigure the burial site first. "They are moving the grave of Benjamin to make room for Lisa in the cemetery behind the house," a source told Page Six. Another source described it as "slightly" moved.
As reported by People, Elvis and his mother were originally buried elsewhere in Memphis. After people tried to desecrate Elvis' grave for ransom, their remains were moved to Graceland, beginning the family cemetery. According to Graceland's Instagram account, Lisa Marie's funeral service will be at 9 a.m. on January 22. The public service will also be livestreamed.
