AceShowbiz - Priscilla Presley wants to be buried at Graceland near her ex-husband Elvis Presley once she dies. When appearing on TalkTV's "Piers Morgan Uncensored," the actress revealed why her final resting place must be in the Memphis estate's Meditation Garden.
"My feelings [about being buried at Graceland] are great," the 78-year-old, who was married to the late singer from 1967 to 1973, said. "That's, you know, what I want and wanted."
When Piers asked her if she'd like to be buried next to Elvis, Priscilla simply replied, "Yes." When the broadcaster asked if it would indeed happen, she emphasized, "Yes."
A settlement agreement over Lisa Marie Presley's estate reached earlier this year by Priscilla and her granddaughter Riley Keough confirmed that the businesswoman will be buried at Graceland. However, her graveyard will not be directly next to Elvis'.
As specified by the agreement, Priscilla will be buried as close to her former husband as possible without moving any existing gravesite. The King of Rock and Roll is currently buried between his father Vernon and his grandmother Minnie, while his daughter Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin Keough's final resting places are across the garden on the other side of a fountain.
During the interview, Priscilla also gushed over her former husband. "Elvis was… I've never met anyone like him and I don't think I ever will again, ever," she told Piers. "He had the biggest heart. He had a great sense of humor. He had a lot of love."
Priscilla also praised her "talented" granddaughter Riley, who officially became the sole trustee of her late mother Lisa Marie's estate in June. "I think Riley will be great. She has asked me a few things about what to do, and we'll talk…," she shared. "I want to help her with Graceland. I mean, she has her own career as well and doing so well with her career. She's so talented."
"I told her, anything she needs to know about Graceland, about Elvis - more so about Elvis. Because she never really took a part of going to Graceland," she continued. "We'd go for some special occasion [but] not that many times. But I want her to know about Elvis, and I'll probably help her in that way."
