The documents outline how the estate will be split between Lisa Marie's family members and specify that Priscilla will be buried at Graceland as near as possible to Elvis, her ex-husband.
Just days after counsel for Presley and Keough announced their settlement on May 16, TMZ reported that Priscilla had asked for a burial site next to ex-husband Elvis, the famed “King” of rock 'n' roll, during negotiations. But it was believed to be a “non-starter,” mainly because of the layout of the Meditation Garden.
Graceland's Meditation Garden is also the resting place of Elvis, his parents, Vernon and Gladys, and Elvis' grandmother Minnie Mae. The news of Lisa Marie's final resting place comes a day after Lisa Marie died unexpectedly at age 54 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Priscilla Presley has failed in a bid to be buried next to former husband Elvis. The Naked Gun actress had been in dispute with granddaughter Riley Keough over her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley's estate and, though the matter was resolved this week, the 77-year-old star had to back down on one matter.
Following Lisa Marie's death on Jan. 12, 2023, her daughter Riley Keough's rep confirmed to PEOPLE that the daughter of Elvis will be laid to rest at Graceland. "Lisa Marie's final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben," a statement to PEOPLE read.
She will be buried next to her son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020 at just 27. Elvis and other family members are also buried there.
Lisa Marie Presley will be buried near her father and late son at the family's Tennessee estate, Graceland, according to a family representative. The singer, who died after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest in her home Thursday, was 54 years old. She was the only child of the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", Elvis Presley.
Riley Keough will be owner of Graceland; Priscilla Presley to be buried there. Riley Keough, the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, will be the sole trustee for her late mother's estate, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
In addition to Lisa Marie and Ben, Lisa Marie's father, Elvis Presley, and his parents, Vernon and Gladys, are also buried in the garden.
By the end of the 90s, Lisa Marie's estate was worth $200 million. Aunt Delta, who was the last person to live in the house (if you believe that Elvis has actually left the building permanently and isn't simply hiding upstairs), died in 1993. Although it is his most famous, Graceland was not Elvis's only home.
Elvis Presley's home has been open to the public as a museum for 40 years, but nobody is allowed upstairs. That is unless you are Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley or someone with special permission like Graceland's Vice President of Archives and Exhibits Angie Marchese.
Lisa Marie Presley's Casket Details
The casket was a solid copper casket with a copper interior that and the casket was lined with a pink satin interior. The ceremony was open casket so that Presley's fans could view his body during the public viewing at Graceland.
The upstairs area is not open to the public during regular tours of Graceland. Elvis' bedroom, known as the “Jungle Room” due to its tropical-themed décor, is located upstairs. It features shag carpeting, wood-paneled walls, and various exotic furnishings.
After Lisa Marie's death in 2023, Graceland and her trust were inherited by her daughters, Keough and Harper and Finley Lockwood, a representative for Graceland confirmed to People. Lisa Marie shared Riley with her ex-husband, Danny Keough, whom she divorced in 1994.
According to People, Lisa Marie's three daughters – actor Riley Keough, 33, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, 14 – will inherit Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
She also had twin daughters, Harper and Finley, 14, with Michael Lockwood, whom she divorced in 2021. Riley, Harper and Finley are now set to be the beneficiaries of the Graceland trust.
Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband has won full custody of their two twin daughters following her sudden death in January.
Minnie Mae died on May 8, 1980, in Memphis. She is buried at the Meditation Garden at Graceland near her son, Vernon, daughter-in-law Gladys, and her grandson, Elvis. In the mornings, visitors can walk up to visit the Meditation Garden at Graceland for free.
Over the years, the trustees decided to open Graceland up to the public via a variety of tours and overnight stays. Elvis purchased the home in 1957 for $US100,000 ($A143,500). In 2020, Rolling Stone reported its estimated worth to be as much as $US500 million ($A718 million).
Family members continued to live at Graceland after Elvis' death, including Vernon Presley, who died in 1979, and Minnie Mae Presley, who died in 1980.
Tragically, Elvis' grandson Benjamin Keough died by suicide at just 27 in 2020 and is now buried opposite The King on the other side of the fountain in the Meditation Garden.
Lisa Marie was just 9 years old when she saw the dead body of her father Elvis Presley on the night of August 16, 1977. The memory would have a lasting effect on the girl, who recalls the last time she saw The King alive was when he kissed her goodnight at their Graceland home.
Lisa Marie claimed in court documents that she only received "a monthly salary of $4,361 from her father Elvis Presley's estate, as well as $100,000 in dividends and interest from investments." While an income of around $1.25 million per year may seem like a lot, it clearly wasn't enough to pay off her debts.
