A public memorial service in honor of Lisa Marie Presley will be taking place at Graceland on January 22, which will be her final resting place, following her unexpected death. “Riley, Harper, Finley, and Priscilla are grateful for the support, well-wishes, and outpouring of love honoring their beloved Lisa Marie,” a representative for the family shared.

Lisa Marie will be buried at Graceland “next to her beloved son Ben,” who died by suicide in 2020. Riley previously talked about mourning the death of her late brother, explaining to InStyle in 2021 that she tried to remain grateful for the moments they spent together.

“I’m just generally trying to be grateful for everything at the moment, trying to operate in love, and keep my heart open, and give and receive love,” she said. “And not in a woo-woo way, because I definitely have hard days, and all kinds of pain and suffering and all that. But I think when you realize that’s part of it, and your expectation isn’t to just be feeling joy, that’s been a real shift for me in finding those moments and things to smile about.”
