Elvis’ Daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s Will, Memorial Funeral Details Disclosed

• Lisa Marie Presley’s funeral and memorial details have been revealed.

• The late singer’s representatives have confirmed the fate of Graceland.

• Her three daughters, including twins, survive Lisa Marie.

In 2013, Lisa Marie Presley, who died on January 12, 2023, insisted that her father’s property, Graceland, should remain in the family. After her death was revealed, Lisa Marie’s representatives said the estate would be given to the late singer’s three daughters.

The Memphis, Tennessee home was in a trust and would go to Riley Keough, then 33, and her twin half-sisters, Finley and Harper Lockwood, then 14. The late Lisa Marie, 54 when she died, grew up in the home.

Her late father, the famous Elvis Presley, left the home to a then nine-year-old Lisa Marie when he passed in 1977 at age 42. The estate was part of her inheritance which was placed in a trust and dissolved in 1993 on her 25th birthday, and she once said:

“Graceland was given to me and will always be mine. And then passed to my children. It will never be sold.”

Elvis’ only child became the sole owner of the estate when she turned 25. Lisa Marie formed a new trust called The Elvis Presley Trust alongside her mother, Priscilla Presley, and the National Bank of Commerce to help manage the property.

As the years went by, the trustees opened it up to the public by having overnight stays and tours. The late King of Rock ‘n Roll bought Graceland for $100,000 in 1957; by 2020, it was estimated to be worth $500 million.

According to Memphis medical examiner Jerry Francisco, Elvis’ immediate cause of death was cardiac arrest, just like his daughter. Peter Guralnick, a biographer, later revealed that “drug use was heavily implicated” in the late musician’s death.

Lisa Marie’s great-grandmother, Gladys Presley, sadly died from a heart attack at age 46 on August 14, 1958. However, it was later discovered that liver failure due to alcohol poisoning was one of the contributing factors to her death.

Two years after Elvis’ passed away, his father, Vernon Presley, was 63 when he also died from a heart attack in June 1979. Since her passing, the details about how and when Lisa Marie would be buried were revealed.

Lisa Marie’s Funeral and Memorial Details

According to reports, Lisa Marie’s representative said she would be buried next to Benjamin Keough, her son, at Graceland. Benjamin died in 2020 at age 27 and was buried at the Memphis property.

His burial was the first one on the site since 40 years ago when Elvis’ grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, was laid there in 1980. Presley family members were buried at the Meditation Garden, including Elvis, Gladys, and Vernon.

Reports said in 2003, Elvis’ daughter wrote a track, “Light’s Out,” about her final resting place in her debut album “To Whom It May Concern.” The same year her album came out, Lisa Marie revealed she didn’t have any burial plans but was sure she’d end up at Graceland.

The late star also joked about shrinking her head and placing it in a glass box to be displayed in the living room. She noted how having it there would pull more tourists to Graceland.

In 2010, Lisa Marie’s [Presley] daughter [Riley Keough] got her first acting job by starring in “The Runaways.”

On January 22, 2023, Lisa Marie’s public memorial service will be held on Graceland’s front lawn at 9 a.m. Michael Lockwood, the late singer’s fourth ex-husband, lost his 2016 bid to undo their prenuptial agreement during their divorce.

In 2021, he reopened the case wanting his ex-wife to pay $4,600 monthly for child support. However, the case wasn’t settled when the musician died, and her current finances weren’t straightforward.

When she turned 25, Elvis’ daughter inherited $100 million; however, it was later revealed that the money was almost finished due to bad investments and mismanagement. The late songwriter had four children before she died.

Who Are Lisa Marie’s Children?

Lisa Marie’s first child and daughter, Riley, was born to her and Danny Keough on May 29, 1989. Riley followed in her mother’s career footsteps by becoming an actress and a model, who made her modeling debut in 2004, walking for Dolce & Gabbana.

In 2010, Lisa Marie’s daughter got her first acting job by starring in “The Runaways.” She later appeared in “Mad Max: Fury Road” in 2015, “American Honey” in 2016, “Logan Lucky” in 2017, and an episode of “Riverdale” in 2018.

In May 2022, Riley made her directorial debut with her film, “War Pony,” at the Cannes Film Festival. Benjamin, born on October 21, 1992, resembled Elvis the most but generally stayed out of the limelight.

He died by suicide after having struggled with depression. Lisa Marie‘s twin girls were welcomed on October 7, 2008, and they also live outside of the spotlight but made their red carpet debut in 2017 at the ELLE Women event.

Two years later, Priscilla described them as “so smart” with technology and how they could handle phones better than she could. The late musician’s mother also revealed how the children lived active lives taking opera and ballet classes.
