Lisa Marie Presley’s Burial Plans Are Revealed

The world is still in shock after the death of Lisa Marie Presley, who died of a heart attack last Thursday at the age of 54. Now, the burial plans of the only child of Elvis Presley have been revealed. 

Presley’s Burial Plans

People Magazine reported that Presley will be buried at her father’s Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee next to her son Benjamin Keough, who committed suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.

“Lisa Marie’s final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben,” Presley’s daughter Riley Keough said in a statement. 

Presley will be buried with her son in Graceland’s Meditation Garden, which is also the final resting place of Elvis, Elvis’ mother Gladys Presley, Elvis’ father Vernon Presley and Elvis’ grandmother Minnie Mae Presley. Presley previously sang about her future resting place in her song “Light’s Out” in her 2003 debut album “To Whom It May Concern.”

“Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis,” she sang. “Ooh, that’s where my family’s buried and gone (gone)/Oh yeah/Last time I was there I noticed a space left/Oh, next to them there in Memphis, yeah/In the damn back lawn.”

That same year, Presley opened up about her burial plans in an interview with Playboy Magazine. 

“I don’t plan on anything. I’m sure I’ll end up there,” she said at the time. “Or I’ll shrink my head and put it in a glass box in the living room,” she jokingly said. “I’ll get more tourists to Graceland that way.”
