The Graceland grave containing the stays of Benjamin Keough is being moved to open space for his late mother, Lisa Marie Presley.
An insider told The Post on Thursday that Keough’s grave can be relocated to create space for the grave of his 54-year-old mom, who died on Jan. 12 after reportedly being hospitalized for cardiac arrest.
“They’re moving the grave of Benjamin to make room for Lisa within the cemetery behind the home,” the source told us.
The Post has contacted representatives for Graceland, Lisa Marie and her mother, Priscilla Presley, for comment.
Work on the memorial site began Tuesday, in accordance with photos obtained by TMZ. Lisa Marie’s grave was pictured being prepared next to Keough’s, who died by suicide in July 2020 at age 27. Her grave was also across from that of her father, music legend Elvis Presley, who died of a heart attack in 1977.
The family’s tombs are all situated around a widely known backyard fountain on the Memphis, Tennessee, estate.
Other changes are also expected ahead of Sunday’s public celebration of life that can honor Lisa Marie.
Presley’s official explanation for death stays undetermined after an initial autopsy, in accordance with the Los Angeles County coroner.
“Presley was examined on Jan. 14 and the explanation for death was deferred,” in accordance with Sarah Ardalani, a spokesperson with the LA County Dept. of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
“Deferred signifies that after an autopsy, a explanation for death has not been determined and the medical expert is requesting more investigation into the death, including additional studies. Once the tests/studies come back, the doctor evaluates the case again and makes the explanation for death determination,” Ardalani explained.
Lisa Marie’s 14-year-old twins, Harper and Finley Lockwood, have been spending time with their grandmother Priscilla and their half-sister, Riley Keough, following her death. The kids are allegedly “too traumatized” to return to their Los Angeles home.
Lisa Marie’s three daughters will inherit Graceland, The Post learned on Tuesday.
“The trust (which incorporates Graceland) will go to Lisa Marie’s daughters Riley, Finley and Harper,” a rep for Graceland told The Post.
