Following Lisa Marie Presley’s passing on Jan. 12, it was reported that her son, Benjamin Keough’s grave would be moved to make room for his mother at the Graceland estate in Tennessee.

It’s been one week since singer Lisa Marie Presley died on Jan. 12, and her passing remains heartbreaking for many. Following the somber news last week, Page Six reported that her son, Benjamin Keough‘s grave will be moved so that Lisa can be buried at the Graceland Estate in Tennessee. “They are moving the grave of Benjamin to make room for Lisa in the cemetery behind the house,” the outlet’s source claimed on Jan. 19. In addition, a rep for the late 54-year-old’s rep told the outlet that his grave would only be “slightly” moved. HollywoodLife has reached out to Lisa’s rep for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication.

Lisa’s final resting place at her father, Elvis Presley‘s former home was confirmed by Lisa’s eldest daughter, Riley Keough, via her rep on Jan. 13. In addition to being laid to rest aside her son, who tragically died in July 2020, the “Lights Out” singer will be buried next to the “King of Rock and Roll” himself. As many already know, Elvis died on Aug. 16, 1977, due to cardiac arrest.

As mentioned above, the news of Benjamin’s grave being moved comes just one week after his mom’s death. The only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, 77, died after suffering cardiac arrest at her home in Los Angeles. Hours after she was hospitalized, Priscilla confirmed the news of her daughter’s passing in a statement to AP. “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” the 77-year-old said at the time. “She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
