Benjamin’s resting place had to be moved slightly to accommodate his mother’s.
The plaque that will cover the grave is currently covered with a tarpaulin for protection.
The family will reportedly host a private ceremony before the public one tomorrow at 9 a.m.
A public service stage has been built on the front lawn with a podium. Hundreds of seats have been placed around it and screens have been placed around the burial site.
Yesterday, her daughter Riley posted a touching Instagram tribute post to her mother, the first time she has acknowledged her death.
She posted a photo of her mother looking up adoringly at her as a little girl as she stared back at her with a soft smile on her face.
Presley’s eldest son simply captioned the heartbreaking post with a red heart.
Presley grew up fearing her own mortality after finding her father dead at the age of nine, traumatizing her. She often spoke of her own death and even referred to the Graceland estate’s backyard as a “graveyard”.
She will rest next to Benjamin, who took his own life in 2020.
Photos of the two together have been posted at their resting places.
The couple’s plots are in front of their famous father Elvis.
Flowers have been placed on the property, including an LMP heart.
‘How many people have a family grave in the backyard? How many people are reminded of their fate, their mortality, every damn day? All the graves are lined up and there is a place there waiting for me, right next to my grandmother,” she told Playboy in 2003.
Despite her fear, the singer believed she had many more years to live last Sunday and told friend David Kessler, who works as a grief counselor, that she had “a lot to do.”
The couple were at the Graceland estate to celebrate what would have been Elvis’ 88th birthday and Presley, who has rarely made public appearances since his son’s death, told the adoring crowd: “You’re the only people who can get me out of the house.

Several of the Presleys also died of heart problems, including his own father, who died in 1977 at the age of 42 of cardiac arrhythmia with ventricular fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats abnormally and then stops.
His grandmother, Gladys Love Presley, died at the age of 46 from heart failure, and his grandfather, Vernon Elvis Presley, died at age 63 from cardiac arrest.
