Lisa Marie Presley was buried privately.
She repeated the fate of the Presley family members.
Her little daughters, who lost a parent like little Lisa Marie once did, are traumatized and don’t want to go to the house where their mother lived.
On January 19, 2023, Lisa Marie Presley was buried next to her son, Benjamin Keough, at Graceland’s Meditation Garden in Memphis, Tennessee, before her public memorial service. The service will be held on January 22, 2023.
The late star’s father, Elvis Presley, and his parents, Gladys and Vernon Presley were also buried in Graceland. On January 12, 2023, Lisa Marie went into cardiac arrest at her Calabasas home before being taken to the hospital.
Paramedics regained the late singer’s pulse before taking her to a hospital, where she died at age 54. Besides her father, son, and grandparents, Minnie Mae Presley, Elvis’ grandmother, was also laid to rest on the property.
Lisa Marie’s memorial would be held at Graceland and live-streamed through the property page’s live-stream. Fans were allowed to attend the service physically, and for those wishing to watch the live stream, it would start at 9 a.m. CT.
The sad thing about the late songwriter’s death was that what took her life was something similar, in some cases, the exact cause, to what took the lives of some of the “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow” musician’s family members.
Lisa Marie Repeated the Fate of Elvis and His Parents
On August 16, 1977, Elvis passed on from a heart attack. The Shelby County coroner, Dr. Jerry Francisco, said “preliminary autopsy findings” showed that the cause of his death was “cardiac arrhythmia.”
request, Priscilla did not cause much trouble; she backed down without arguing.
Despite not getting her desired resting place, Priscilla still walked away with the hefty payout from her daughter’s trust. Reports stated that the actress was expected to receive millions.
The millions Priscilla received were in return for her dropping claims about who would have control over Lisa’s trust. She also let go of Lisa’s Graceland mansion and a share in Elvis Presley Enterprises.
These reports come after Priscilla had filed a plea for an interpretation and the validity of Lisa’s trust after she removed her and put her granddaughter and the co-trustee. She clarified that the media took her plea as a lawsuit when it was just a request for the trust’s breakdown.
Eventually, the Presley ex-wife confirmed that the matter was settled and resolved within the family and that she did not file a lawsuit against her granddaughter.
On the other hand, Riley is also pleased to have the court matters out of the way. A close source said, ”Riley is relieved to have settled the dispute over her mom’s estate. She does not want any drama with her grandmother,”
Priscilla even told the media that it would be an honor to be buried next her daughter and “the love of her life.” She expressed, “Although I do not plan on going anywhere anytime soon. It is my family’s wish for me to be laid to rest with my daughter and the love of my life when that time comes. We appreciate the love from all of the fans.”
Therefore, the Presley family has everything settled, the court plea, and Lisa’s trust distribution. The lawyers confirmed, “Everyone is happy. Unified and together and excited for the future.”
Lisa also left behind her 14-year-old twins, who have been struggling to accept the sudden death of their mother, but Riley has been doing her best to be there for them and process her pain as well.
The Damned Burial Place
The Graceland mansion was not only a home for most of the Presley family, including Lisa, but it was also the burial site for most of the family members. Lisa had expressed how disturbing it was to have a graveyard in her backyard and constantly be reminded of her fate of mortality.
Lisa even wrote about how haunting the space was for her in the song “Lights Out,” where she called it the “Damn back lawn.”
Before it was turned into a burial site, the patch of land was a meditation garden, but it soon became the resting place for Presley, his parents, and his grandmother. Lisa’s son, Benjamin Keough, who died from suicide in 2020, was also buried there, and now his mother has joined the family.
As much as the damned graveyard haunted Lisa for most of her life, the same area has become a topic of discussion in her trust, showing that it has become an essential space for the Presley family to stay together even on the other side.
The home was also opened to the public, and Lisa knew she would be one of the sites of attraction. Before her death, she already concluded that the space next to her grandmother was hers.
The singer sarcastically said it was either that burial space or she would have her head shrunk into a glass jar for an even more interesting sight for tourists.
However, after the news about Lisa’s death broke, her daughter Riley announced that her resting place would be next to her beloved son.
Lisa’s sudden death left the family with a big void; Now, with the court and trust proceedings, the family needed to remember to still honor the singer without making it all about the estate.
