who is buried in the meditation garden at graceland
Graceland On August 16, 1977, Presley died in the bathroom at Graceland allegedly of a heart attack. Elvis Presley lay in state in a 900-pound copper-lined coffin just inside the foyer while over 3,500 of Elvis' mourning fans passed by to pay their respects. A private funeral with 200 mourners was held on August 18, 1977 in the house, with the casket placed in front of the stained glass doorway of the music room. Graceland continued to be occupied by members of the family until the death of Elvis' aunt Delta in 1993, who had moved in at Elvis' invitation after her husband's death.[20] Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, inherited the estate in 1993 when she turned 25.[21] Presley, his parents Gladys & Vernon Presley, and his grandmother Minnie Mae Presley are buried on the property in the Meditation Garden. A memorial gravestone for Presley's stillborn twin brother, Jesse Garon, is also at the site.
