The public memorial service was arranged on the front lawn of Graceland. Following the service, there is a procession to view Lisa Marie's final resting place in the Meditation Garden.

Lisa Marie was laid to rest next to her son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020. In addition to Lisa Marie and Ben, Lisa Marie's father, Elvis Presley, and his parents, Vernon and Gladys, are also buried in the garden.
