Priscilla Presley Responds To Funeral Planning Reports

Priscilla Presley has responded to reports that have claimed that the former wife of the late Elvis Presley has planned her own funeral and has recently made all the appropriate instructions to be buried at Graceland next to Elvis.

Priscilla Presley posted on Thursday via her personal Twitter account that the recent reports regarding her funeral plans are completely bogus and in fact, she has no plans what-so-ever to be buried next to Elvis.

Recent Radar Online posts stated that Priscilla, 73, reached out to Graceland’s trustees and all the plans were finalized revealing that the final resting place plans were a done deal.

This is the Enquirer folks… please don’t believe everything you read. Don’t plan my funeral just yet, I’m very healthy. Never planned on being buried next to Elvis. What will they come up with next!? 🤣

“Priscilla still thinks of herself as Elvis’ widow and her rightful resting place is next to him,” a source told Radar Online.

The same source even went as far as to say that Priscilla wants an “elaborate funeral” and when her time comes she wants all of Elvis’ music to be played and to be completely surrounded by photos of herself and Elvis.

It is also claimed that Priscilla previously underwent a complicated surgery removing deadly skin cancer from her face. The ordeal allegedly got Cilla thinking about tying up all her loose ends and ironing out her last wishes.

“Priscilla feels that she played a defining role in Elvis’ life and that he was her only true love,” the insider said, adding, “Even though they divorced
four years before his death in 1977, she believes they shared a loving bond until the day he died — and beyond the grave.”

However, Priscilla is calling this total BS and feels she has a lot of living to do yet. As previously reported Priscilla Presley’s 2019 total net worth is somewhere around $100 million while her and Elvis‘ only daughter Lisa Marie Presley is next to nothing.

A lot of Elvis’ dedicated fans have been pretty upset by the financial circumstances concerning Lisa Marie and all the legal and personal battles she has been undergoing for the past few years following her divorce proceedings from her fourth husband Michael Lockwood.

They reportedly believe that Elvis’ baby girl should in no way be suffering financially while ex-wife Priscilla Presley continues to rake in a massive yearly income all of these years later riding on her famous husband’s namesake.
