A Look Inside the Rarely Seen Kingdom of Elvis Presley

His Soul Lives On in Graceland

What better place to bury the King than in his very own backyard? He was initially buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Memphis, but after alleged meddling with the grave, he was moved to the safer, protected grounds of Graceland.

Here Elvis is surrounded by his loved ones. His mom, dad, and grandmother are all buried beside him, and there’s even a memorial for his twin brother, who died at birth. If you’re eager to visit the singer’s resting place, the best time would be on the 15th of August, when guests are invited to carry candles and walk up the driveway all the way to his grave.
