Lisa Marie Presley’s final resting place unveiled at Graceland
Lisa Marie Presley’s resting place has been unveiled at Graceland a day ahead of her funeral as her family prepares to lay her to rest next to her son and her famous father.
Presley’s body will be on display to the public during her Sunday celebration of life at the family’s Graceland estate in Memphis.
The singer and mother-of-four died last week after suffering from cardiac arrest twice, leaving behind her three daughters Riley, 33, and twins Finley and Harper, 14.
Presley will be buried next to her son Benjamin, who took his own life in 2020, and across from her father’s Elvis’ plot around the backyard fountain.
Her gray marble sarcophagus is sitting next to her burial spot and is the exact same as her son’s. Photos of the pair together have been placed in front of their monuments.
Benjamin’s resting place had to be moved slightly to accommodate his mother’s.
The plaque that will cover the gravesite is currently covered with a tarp for protection.
The family is reportedly hosting a private ceremony ahead of the public one at 9am tomorrow.
A stage has been constructed for the public service on the front lawn with a podium. Hundreds of seats have been set out around it and screens have been put up around the burial site.
Yesterday, her daughter Riley posted a touching tribute post on Instagram for her mother – the first time she’s acknowledged her death.
She posted a photo of her mother looking adoringly down at her as a small child while she gazed back with a soft smile on her face.
Presley’s oldest child simply captioned the heartbreaking post with a red heart.
Presley grew up fearing her own mortality after she found her father dead at the age of nine, traumatizing her. She often spoke of her own death and even referred to the backyard at the Graceland estate as a ‘graveyard.’
