Priscilla Presley Will Be Buried As Near As Possible To Elvis Presley in Graceland

It has been Priscilla Presley's wish to be buried beside the love of his life, The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.

With a recent court settlement, it would finally come to fruition.

Priscilla Presley Buried Beside Elvis Presley

In an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, Priscilla Presley opens up about her emotions toward being buried beside her ex-husband, Elvis Presley in Graceland. According to Presley, it's what she has always wanted.

However, an agreement between Lisa Marie Presley's estate, represented by Riley Keough, confirmed that Priscilla would be, in fact, buried in Graceland, but not directly next to Elvis.

But the newly court-approved document says that Priscilla Presley will be buried as close to Elvis as possible without moving any existing gravesite.

For reference, Elvis is buried between his father and his grandmother. Across the garden, Priscilla and Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie, and her son, Benjamin Keough lie.

"Elvis was... I've never met anyone like him and I don't think I ever will again, ever," Priscilla told Piers. "He had the biggest heart. He had a great sense of humor. He had a lot of love."

Amid the estate drama, Priscilla also opened up about working with her granddaughter Riley Keough, who has been entrusted to run the Elvis Presley estate.

"I think Riley will be great. She has asked me a few things about what to do, and we'll talk...," Priscilla said. "I want to help her with Graceland. I mean, she has her own career as well and doing so well with her career. She's so talented," she explained. "I told her, anything she needs to know about Graceland, about Elvis-more so about Elvis. Because she never really took a part of going to Graceland... We'd go for some special occasion [but] not that many times. But I want her to know about Elvis, and I'll probably help her in that way."

Priscila Presley Recalls Final Hug With Daughter Lisa Marie Presley

In the same interview with Piers Morgan, Priscilla Presley was candid in recalling the final moments she spent with her daughter Lisa Marie Presley before her death.

"She didn't look well that night, and I was concerned," Priscilla remembered. "She asked Jerry Schilling, one of my best friends, if he could hold her. Her heels were high, but she had worn them before, and I thought, 'Is she OK?' She didn't really look that OK, she looked very frail."

The last event where Lisa Marie Presley was spotted was during the 2023 Golden Globe Awards.
