Someone offered the auction house $8k for Elvis Presley’s dirty underwear.
A representative of Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, told the outlet, "Riley, Harper, Finley, and Priscilla are grateful for the support, well-wishes, and outpouring of love honoring their beloved Lisa Marie."
The rep added that the public memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, will take place on the front lawn of Graceland at 9 a.m. on Sunday, January 22nd, 2023, in Memphis.
Lisa Marie Presley will be buried at Graceland next to her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020, as well as Elvis and other family members who are also buried at Graceland, according to a previous statement.
In lieu of flowers, the family urged those to donate to The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit that supports charitable organisations focused on arts, education and children's programmes in the Memphis area.
Presley died Thursday at the age of 54 after being rushed to the hospital for a medical emergency, according to her family. She was the sole heir of the Elvis Presley Trust, along with Elvis Presley Enterprises, which managed Graceland and other assets until she sold her majority in 2005, but retained ownership of the Graceland mansion, as reported by the Associated Press.
Graceland, the legendary mansion which once belonged to Elvis Presley, will go to Lisa Marie Presley's three daughters following her sudden death at age 54.
A representative for the Memphis, Tennessee estate confirmed to People the property, which is in a trust and was passed down to Elvis' daughter following his death in 1977, will benefit Lisa Marie's daughters - Riley, 33, and 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley.
Lisa Marie died last week at age 54 after suffering two cardiac arrests.
Lisa Marie's finances remain contentious: her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, lost his 2016 bid in their divorce to undo their prenup, but he reopened the case in 2021, demanding she pay the $4,600-a-month child support that a court ordered.
The case is yet to be settled, and the state of her finances is unclear.
She inherited $100million in 1993, on her 25th birthday, but said that it had almost entirely disappeared thanks to mismanagement and bad investments.
Graceland, however, remained.
Lisa Marie had four children - her three daughters and son Benjamin Keough, who took his own life in July 2020 following a lengthy battle with drug addiction and depression.
Riley, whose latest role is in Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones and the Six, charting the story of a 1970s rock band, said last year while promoting Zola that her brother's death had hit her hard.
She told The New York Times she endured 'a year of feeling like I was thrown into the ocean and couldn't swim'.
She added: 'The first four or five months, I couldn't get out of bed. I was totally debilitated. I couldn't talk for two weeks.'
Even now, Riley finds the tragedy hard to accept.
'It's very complicated for our minds to put that somewhere because it's so outrageous,' she said.
'If I'm going through a breakup, I know what to do with that and where to file it in my mind, but suicide of your brother? Where do you put that? How does that integrate? It just doesn't.'
While struggling to come to terms with Benjamin's death, she became interested in death doulas, and trained as a practicioner - guiding people through the final stages of their lives.
'That's really what's helped me, being able to put myself in a position of service,' she said. 'If I can help other people, maybe I can find some way to help myself.'
She said she was supported by her husband, Australian stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, who she met on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road.
The pair married in February 2015, after traveling to Nepal to spend time building houses in the Himalayas.
