Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley’s final resting place, will host a public memorial service on Sunday. The news comes as Yahoo Entertainment confirms that Riley Keough, 33, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, 14, will acquire Elvis Presley’s legendary house in Tennessee.
“Riley, Harper, Finley, and Priscilla are grateful for the support, well-wishes, and outpouring of love honoring their beloved Lisa Marie,” said a spokeswoman for Keough, adding the service will be conducted on the front lawn of Graceland on January 22 at 9 a.m. Those who wish to send flowers should donate to The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation instead.
The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation helps a variety of organizations, with a focus on initiatives for children, teachers, and artists in the Memphis/Whitehaven area near Graceland.
Elvis purchased the 500-acre estate in 1957 when he was only 22 years old. In 1977, he passed away there. Lisa Marie, the celebrity’s only child, became the sole heir to the estate when she turned 25. Riley, Harper, and Finley, according to a Graceland representative, will be the estate’s heirs.
Lisa Marie will be buried at Graceland “close to her adored son Ben,” who committed suicide in 2020. Months later, she quietly sold the estate in Calabasas, California, where he died because she “could not step foot inside the residence.” Following Ben’s death, the singer-songwriter felt “suffocating and bottomless” sorrow, and now her daughters feel a similar loss.
The twins have reportedly spent a significant amount of time at the Presley family matriarch’s Los Angeles home because they do not want to return to where Lisa Marie suffered a cardiac arrest. Riley is claimed to have been present as well. The family leans on one another for assistance. A spokesperson for the family did not respond to Yahoo’s request for comment.
Lisa Marie experienced a heart attack at her home in the Agoura Hills/Calabasas community on January 12. A few hours later, Priscilla conveyed “the awful news” of her daughter’s death.
“She was the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known,” Priscilla said.
We ask for privacy as we cope with this sad loss. Thank you for your prayers and consideration. There will be no further discussion at this time.”
