The mother-of-three said she was buried at Graceland in an interview with Playboy20 years before she passed away.
“Graceland’s back lawn is essentially a graveyard. How many individuals have a family grave within the yard? she said. “All of the graves are arrange and there’s a spot waiting for me right next to my grandmother.”
“I’m sure I’ll find yourself there,” she said. “Or I’ll shrink the pinnacle and put it in a glass box within the front room. This manner I’ll attract more tourists to Graceland.
