In her memoirs, the singer describes this experience as a way to cope with unbearable pain and postpone goodbye. Only two months later, Benjamin was buried, and later, Lisa Marie herself found peace beside him in Graceland.
"There is no law in California requiring the immediate burial of the deceased," wrote Lisa Marie. She understood that keeping a body at home was unusual: "I think it would scare the hell out of anyone, but not me," the book is quoted by Daily Mail .
It's worth noting that Lisa Marie Presley passed away in January 2023. Complications after weight loss surgery caused her death. The memoirs were published posthumously at the behest of Elvis's daughter.
