As preparations got underway to lay Lisa Marie Presley to rest, one minor adjustment needed to be made first. According to a source who spoke with Page Six, there wasn’t initially enough room to bury Lisa Marie next to her late son, Benjamin Keough. “They are moving the grave of Benjamin to make room for Lisa in the cemetery behind the house,” the insider explained. Indeed, Lisa Marie’s own rep also confirmed that Benjamin’s grave was “slightly” moved. The work happened quietly ahead of the singer’s private burial, which took place on January 19, per Us Weekly. Lisa Marie’s grave joined six others placed around the circular backyard fountain in Graceland’s Meditation Garden. Photos obtained by TMZ show she was laid to rest next to her son, Benjamin, and right across from her father, Elvis. The Meditation Garden is also the final resting place of Elvis’ parents, Gladys and Vernon Presley, as well as his grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, per People.

Now, the Presley family is preparing for the public memorial service set to take place on January 22. Fans are being encouraged to skip flowers and instead donate to The Elvis Presley Charitable in Lisa Marie’s memory. As for the Graceland estate, Lisa Marie’s daughters will inherit it, per People, as their mother became its sole heir following the death of her paternal grandparents.
