The iconic Graceland estate will stay in the Presley family.
The former home to rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley will be passed on to Lisa Marie Presley’s daughters as they prepare to honor their mother with a public memorial service held at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, on Sunday, Jan. 22.
The only daughter of Elvis Presley died on Jan. 12 following a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California. She was quickly sent to the hospital and was apparently placed in a medically induced coma for a brief time. Her mother, Priscilla Presley, announced that evening that she had died.

Graceland, which is in a trust, will go to Lisa Marie’s daughters Riley, Harper, and Finley, a representative told People.

Details regarding the public memorial were announced in a Graceland statement.
“A memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley has been arranged for Sunday, January 22 at 9:00 am on the front lawn at Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee,” the statement read. “General public is invited to attend.”
“In lieu of flowers, the family encourages all who wish to send something to do so in the form of a donation to The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation,” it continued.
Lisa Marie Presley will be buried in Graceland alongside her father and other family members, including her son Benjamin Keough, who took his own life in July 2020.
