Priscilla Presley wishes not to be buried next to Elvis
Priscilla Presley is setting the record straight.
The ex-wife of Elvis Presley apparently refused to have a burial spot next to the legendary singer during a negotiation talks for her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley‘s trust.
The 77-year-old was offered to be laid to rest with the rock n roll legend at his iconic state, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. However, she straightly denied the request.
Not just Elvis but several members of his family are resting on the grounds of his beloved estate.
Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley who tragically passed away on January 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest also was buried next to her son Benjamin Keough. The late actor was only 27 when he committed suicide in July 2020.
Many believe that Lisa Marie died of a broken heart after her son’s passing.
The Can’t Help Falling in Love singer’s father and mother Vernon and Gladys Presley are also buried in the garden of his property.
News of Priscilla’s decision came just days after it was announced that she and her granddaughter Riley Keough have now settled their dispute over Lisa Marie’s trust.
In a statement released earlier this week, the businesswoman said,
“My family has resolved all confusion as it relates to our plea to the court and request for document interpretation after my daughter Lisa Marie’s untimely passing,”
”As a family, we are pleased that we resolved this together. My family and I hope that everyone will grant us the privacy we have needed to properly grieve Lisa Marie and spend personal time together.”
“We love and appreciate all of you and the Presley family is stronger than ever.”
According to lawyers, Riley, who is the sole beneficiary of her mom’s trust was also very satisfied with how the agreement ended up.
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress and her maternal grandmother had been legally fighting in court for months right after Lisa’s memorial service.

“It was a surprise,”
“He got on his knee with a gift behind his back and told me to close my eyes. Of which I did and then told me to open them and he presented me with a beautiful engagement ring.”
Talking about their intimate Vegas wedding which had only 14 guests, Priscilla said in 1973,
