Hundreds of individuals gathered on the entrance garden of Graceland on a grey, chilly Sunday morning in Memphis to mourn the dying and keep in mind the lifetime of Lisa Marie Presley, who died earlier this month.
Some mourners held flowers as they waited for the service to start below the tall timber on the garden of Graceland, the house the place Lisa Marie lived as a toddler along with her father, Elvis Presley. The mansion, which Lisa Marie Presley owned, has been changed into a museum and vacationer attraction that a whole lot of 1000’s of followers go to annually to rejoice the life and music of Elvis, who died in 1977.
The property in south Memphis was a spot of disappointment and somber reminiscences on Sunday. Presley, a 54-year-old singer-songwriter devoted to her father’s legacy, died Jan. 12, hours after being hospitalized for a medical emergency.
The service started with the singing of “Amazing Grace” by Jason Clark & The Tennessee Mass Choir.
“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the love, compassion and support you have shown our family during this difficult time,” stated a message from the Presley household written on this system for the service. “We will always be grateful.”
Among these anticipated to talk or sing throughout the service have been Lisa Marie Presley’s mom, actress Priscilla Presley; her daughter, actress Riley Keough; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York; and singers Billy Corgan, Alanis Morissette and Axl Rose.
After the service, mourners will make a procession by Graceland’s Meditation Garden, the place she is being laid to relaxation.
