Lisa Marie Presley revealed, in her posthumous memoir, that she kept her son’s body at home for two months, before the funeral.
In ‘From Here to the Great Unknown – A Memoir’, the singer also reveals that she had to “fight” to stay alive for the sake of her daughters, Riley Keough and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood.
“My house has a separate small house and I left Ben Ben there for two months. There is no law in the state of California that requires immediate burial,” wrote Lisa about her son Benjamin Keough, who committed suicide in 2020, at age 27.
“The room was at 12 degrees to preserve the body,” he added in the book, quoted by Page Six.
His mother and older sister also decided to get tattoos to match Benjamin. To do this, a tattoo artist went to the family’s house and stood by the body to see the tattoos he had – Riley’s name on his collarbone and Lisa’s name on his hand.
“Lisa Marie Presley asked this poor man to look at her dead son’s body, which was right there in the little house next door. I’ve had an extremely absurd life, but this moment is in the top five,” wrote her daughter, Riley Keough, who helped finish the book after his mother’s death in January 2023.
Benjamin was later buried at Graceland next to his grandfather, Elvis Presley, the place also chosen for Lisa Marie’s funeral.
