At the family's Graceland estate, the late singer was laid to rest ahead of a celebration of life service on Sunday, January 22, at 9.00 am. Across her father's burial plot, Presley was buried next to her son, Benjamin Keough who died by suicide in 2020.

All the graves are lined up and there's a spot there, waiting for me, right next to my grandmother."
Following Keough's loss, fans have come to the estate's front gate and placed flowers, honoring the singer. The website of the Graceland read, "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."
