Lisa Marie Presley will be buried at Graceland next to her late son Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020.
Presley’s death was announced by her mother, Priscilla, on January 12, shortly after the 54-year-old was hospitalised in cardiac arrest.
Now, a representative for Presley’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that her ‘final resting place will be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben.’
Keough – whom Presley shared with first husband Danny Keough – was buried at Graceland after he died at the age of 27.
Following a self-inflicted gunshot wound, his mother suffered ‘unrelenting grief’ ahead of her own death.

His only daughter, Presley, inherited Graceland after his death in 1977, when she was just nine-years-old.
Now, the famous mansion will be split between Presley’s 14-year-old twins Harper Vivienne and Finley, and her actress daughter Riley Keough.
Sharing the ‘devastating’ news of the American star’s death this week, heartbroken mother Priscilla said in a statement: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.
‘She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.’
