Lisa Marie Presley Memorial Service Information

Lisa Marie Presley’s Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, January 22, at 9:00 am on Graceland’s Front Lawn. In addition to family and friends, the general public is invited to attend. Following the service, there will be a procession to view Lisa’s final resting place in Meditation Garden.

If you are unable to attend the service in Memphis, the ceremony will be available to watch online via Graceland’s Livestream page.

SERVICE INFORMATION
Lisa Marie’s memorial service will take place on the front lawn of Graceland. Fans will gather on the north lawn of Graceland Mansion, adjacent to the seated area on the center lawn that will be reserved for Lisa Marie’s family and friends. Access to the north lawn will be standing room only, on a first come, first served basis as space allows.

Please read through all the following information carefully.

PARKING
Graceland parking will open at 5:00 am on Sunday, January 22. Graceland’s main parking lot is located at 3717 Elvis Presley Blvd. The Memphis Police Department will not allow cars to line up on Elvis Presley Blvd. prior to 5:00 am when the parking lot opens, so please plan your arrival accordingly. Parking is $10 for cars and $15 for oversized vehicles.

GUEST ACCESS TO SERVICE
At 5:00 am, fans will be allowed to enter Elvis Presley’s Memphis complex via the TCB white gates, located inside main parking lot. After entering through the gates, proceed up the ramp, turn left at Vernon’s Smokehouse, and then proceed down across the footbridge to a queue line area in front of the airplane terminal. Joining the queue line via the Graceland parking lot/TCB white gates is the only point of access – you will not be able to enter the queue line via Elvis Presley Blvd.

At 7:00 am, fans in the queue line will begin to pass through the security check point before being escorted across Elvis Presley Blvd., through the main Graceland gates, and allowed to proceed to Graceland’s north lawn via the driveway.

The north lawn area can accommodate hundreds of people, but since we cannot predict turnout, we cannot guarantee entry. This area will be limited to standing room only, and once the area is full, fans will be asked to remain outside the gates until the procession to Meditation Garden begins following the service.

Due to expected rain throughout the week, we anticipate the grass to be wet and the ground soft. Please plan accordingly with footwear. Cold weather is also anticipated.

MEDITATION GARDEN PROCESSION
Following the memorial service, all fans may join a procession to Meditation Garden where Lisa Marie and her family have been laid to rest and then back down through the front gates. All guests on the north lawn will be able to join the procession following friends and family. EPE staff will be on hand to provide direction to those fans on the north lawn.

Fans unable to access the north lawn for the service due to capacity, will be allowed to join procession as well. To participate in the procession, you MUST be in the queue line in front of the airplane terminal no later than 11:00 am. No one will be able to join the queue/procession line after this time.

Who gets hold and releases this stuff ?

Freedom of information. Stuff like this is public knowledge.

Apparently when they had the ambulance that carried Elvis to the hospital on display at the Tigerman Dojo in Memphis last year, they had the recording of Joe Esposito calling for the ambulance on August 16th 1977. I never found it online.

This has nothing to do with eugenics, and I wholeheartedly disagree with your view. You're basically saying that Hoedel is a Nazi. And I am sure she would disagree with you on that. The book does not take the curse thing seriously, though.

The title of the book may have likely been a poor choice, though, but I'm going to read it to see what she has to say.

Before you start reading Brian, let me tell you that Hoedel is a 100% Trumper. You know, the man you've compared to Hitler countless times in the political thread.
Hoedel has promoted Trump relentlessly on her Facebook, even proudly posting pics of her with Eric Trump that she had taken at a rally of the worst president in US history.
To me, someone who is so obviously blind to the truth and even in 2022 still supported Trump, is not worth my money, nor my time, in a book about Elvis Presley.

Avoid, at all cost.

Whatever her politics, the fact that this is a self published book and didn't have to go through the fact checking and scrutiny it would have had to go though had it been published by an actual book publisher taints everything written in it for me. I have tried to read it and just found it so full of unprovable supposition and speculation that I had to give up on it. I can understand why a certain type of Elvis fan is so drawn to and supportive of this book.

I didn't know that about her.

And I wasn't calling her "a Nazi." I was just pointing out where this can lead (to bigotry against the historically poor classes of people in America) - and where it comes from historically.

But, gosh, I didn't know that. Thank you. Then it plugs into an ideology that for many, is disturbing. As in the historical old reliable "they're not sending their best." And that's just for the "white" part of Elvis Presley's complex ancestry, particularly but not exclusively on his mother's side.

P.S. -- Thanks to all who provided links to the Livestream of the memorial service. It is so generous of Priscilla and Riley to do this for the fans. So many thousands are in real and deep pain right now, and this will help. I think it was just a matter of seeing all the messages of severe distress. One group admin asked simply "how is everybody doing?" And the answers that poured forth were wrenching. Including my own.

That definitely explains a lot about her book "Destined" indeed.

[elvinda58]

It's only January 19th and Yamaguchi has posted what will probably be the most idiotic post of 2023!

[elvinda58]

I'm sure there will be plenty of contenders!

[elvinda58]

Another good one posted a few days ago: "Elvis did not die of a heart disease"!! even though the Medical Examiner or Coroners report stated cause of death as Cardiovascular Disease with Atherosclerotic Heart Disease as a contributing factor.

[TheKingOfMusicEP]

Will someone record the livestream on sunday, because I will be out for working?

[brian]

I think someone will put it on youtube. So you'll be able to watch the memorial later on.

[luke1]

This looks really nice
https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/19/lisa-marie-presley-honored-graceland-before-funeral/

Interesting you have to read this on tmz.com. i find the Graceland.com quite a stone cold website. You have to scroll down past all upcoming events to read som short announcement about coming Sunday…the same for elvis.com. It directs directly to a shop without any factual info about Elvis.

[eligain]

Is there still live Graceland cams? If so, are they working or have they been turned off until the memorial?

I seem to remember there being cams where you could see the graves on a live cam 24/7.

[DEH]

People were saying the camera or cameras that showed the graves were shut down. Now that Lisa has been laid to rest maybe it will be turned on again.

[elvisjock]

I believe the family/friends seating area is being assembled on the center lawn, in view of camera and possibly blocking the mansion. That might be why it's down.

The Blackwood Brothers, what a delightful surprise!! They've earned it.

Thank You
I hope completely and not only in parts

According to several sites she has not been burried at Graceland yet. Tmz.com is one of those.

It has to be done at least a day, or two, before the thousands who pass through it do.

Priscilla and family arrive in Memphis tomorrow afternoon..
