Lisa Marie Presley will find her final resting place on the grounds of the iconic Graceland mansion. Her son and father are also buried there.
The Elvis daughter who died at the age of 54 Lisa Marie Presley is to be buried on Sunday with a public memorial service at the Graceland family estate south of the city of Memphis, Tennessee.
The service in memory of the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s only child Elvis Presley will begin on Jan. 22 at 9 a.m. local time on the front lawn of the property, according to a statement on Graceland’s visitors page. The public is invited to come.
Instead of flowers, the Presley family would like donations to the Presley Foundation from anyone who wanted to give something, it said. The foundation then wants to use the money to support selected charities that are dedicated to children’s programs, art or education.
Last Friday, one day after the singer’s sudden death, her family announced that Lisa Marie Presley was at her final resting place Graceland by the side of her “beloved son Ben”.
