Priscilla’s funeral plans
Daily Mail reported that Priscilla, 78, revealed this during an interview with Piers Morgan after he asked her about the previous dispute between her and her granddaughter Riley Keough that followed the death of her daughter Lisa Marie in January.
“At its core, it seemed pretty simple that Lisa-Marie had changed her will and not told you. By changing it she had made the trustees her children, which is completely understandable, but you just didn’t know it,” Piers said. “So when she died suddenly, tragically young, and all this comes out, you were caught off guard, or so it seemed to me.”
“Yes, that’s it,” Priscilla replied. “I think Riley will be great, she asked me a few things like what to do with Graceland.”
“There might be a problem with the fact that one day you might be buried at Graceland with Elvis. Would you like to clarify that?’ Piers asked. “What are your feelings?”
“My feelings are great, that’s what I want and wanted,” Priscilla responded.
“So you will be buried there?” Piers asked, to which Priscilla replied emphatically, “Yes.”
Priscilla Presley confirms to Piers Morgan that she will be buried at the Graceland estate alongside her late husband Elvis.
It comes as Riley Keough and Priscilla’s settlement is being approved by a judge.

Although Priscilla divorced Elvis in 1973, four years before he died at age 42, she gushed over him in her interview with Piers.
“Elvis was…I’ve never met anyone like him and I don’t think I ever will again,” Priscilla said. “He had the biggest heart. He had a great sense of humor. He had a lot of love.”
“I just stayed in my room and couldn’t believe it and cried.”

Priscilla talks about Lisa Marie’s death
In the same interview, Priscilla talked about the death of Lisa Marie, who died in January at the age of 54 after an intestinal obstruction.
“It’s like a big part of your life is taken away,” Priscilla said, according to ABC News.
Priscilla went on to say that at the time of her death, Lisa Marie was still grieving the loss of her son Benjamin, who tragically committed suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.
“Losing Ben was the hardest thing for her. He took his life, and he was the love of her life, that child – she adored him,” Priscilla said. ‘She would do anything for him, anything. And we were in Memphis, sitting up in the suite, and she said, “Mom, I don’t know if I want to be here,” and I said, “What are you talking about?” “You know, my Ben,” and she went on and on about Ben and how she was still grieving, and this was a few months earlier [she died].”
“[It] It was almost like she wanted to go sooner, but the twins were still young – or too young, let’s put it that way,” she added, referring to Lisa Marie’s 15-year-old twin daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood.
“It’s unbearable.”

Priscilla looks to the future
Looking to the future, Priscilla is determined to help her granddaughter Riley Keogh, 34, run Graceland.
“I love her. We’ve always gotten along,” Priscilla said of her granddaughter. “Riley and I have always been close.”
“I think Riley will be great,” she continued. “She asked me a few things about what to do. I want to help her with Graceland. I told her everything she needed to know about Graceland, and especially about Elvis. I want her to know a lot about Elvis and I will probably help her that way.”
