LOS ANGELES - Singer Lisa Marie Presley will be laid to rest at Graceland, the Memphis mansion she inherited from her father Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll”, a representative for her daughter said on Friday.

“Lisa Marie’s final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben,” a representative for her daughter Riley Keough said.
Mr Benjamin Keough died in 2020 at age 27, a death ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. Ms Presley remembered her son in a recent essay for People magazine earlier this year that she posted on Instagram, calling herself “destroyed” by his death.
As the only child of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie became the owner of her father’s Graceland mansion, a popular tourist attraction in the city. She was nine years old when Elvis died there of heart failure at the age of 42.
