Two days after his death on August 18th, Presley was buried next to his mother, Gladys, at Memphis’ Forest Hill Cemetery.
After his remains were buried, there was an attempt to steal the 900-pound, steel-lined, copper-plated coffin with his body inside to hold his corpse for ransom.
Three of the men who attempted to steal his body were arrested.
Fearing that others would try to follow suit, Presley’s body, and Gladys’, were moved to Graceland.
They currently lie in Graceland’s Meditation Garden; a secluded patch of plants and fountains that he had installed in 1964.
It was one of Elvis’s favorite spots on the property.
