In the family's backyard, near her son Benjamin, who committed suicide in July 2020 at 27, the daughter of the late rock and roll legend Elvis Presley will be buried. In addition, her dad, who passed away from a heart attack in 1977, will be across from her.
TMZ claims pictures from Graceland, where LMP's stone sarcophagus was discovered resting next to Benjamin Keough's, appeared on Saturday. It is constructed of the same material and is of the same design. Her actual gravestone nameplate, however, isn't finished.
A tarp is presently covering the plaque that will be placed atop Presley's grave as a precaution.
According to TMZ, large crowds are anticipated to come for the late singer's memorial service, and a stage and hundreds of chairs have been set up in the backyard of the Presley family estate in Memphis.
There are now full-fledged improvised tributes outside the gates of Graceland, including one stunning one that says LMP — created in red text with a white heart behind it. Flower arrangements have been progressively erected over the past few days as well.
Her family reportedly plans to gather for a private funeral sometime this weekend. However, It's unknown if it occurred Saturday or today before the public would be allowed inside.
Numerous celebrities are speculated to attend, including Austin Butler, who won a Golden Globe for playing Elvis Presley and thanked the Presley family for their dedication to helping him succeed in the role.
Lisa Marie sadly passed away a few days after attending the Golden Globes, even though her death's official reason is still a mystery.
Presley, who lost her father when she was nine years old and inherited the Graceland estate at age 25, has previously declared that she despises Graceland's rear yard and the family mausoleum, where Elvis' parents are also interred because they serve as a constant reminder of her impending doom.
“The back lawn of Graceland is a graveyard, basically. How many people have a family grave in the backyard? How many people are reminded of their fate, their mortality, every ... day? All the graves are lined up and there’s a spot there, waiting for me, right next to my grandmother,” She told Playboy in 2003.
The singer informed her friend David Kessler, a grieving counselor, that she had "so much to do" on Jan 8 despite her worry that she only had a few years left to live.
Presley, who has made few public appearances since her son's passing, told the cheering crowd, "You are the only people who can bring me out of the house," as the two were visiting the Graceland mansion to commemorate what would have been Elvis' 88th birthday.
