Original Presley Crypt Up For Auction
Now, you can “rest like the King.”
The original crypt that once held the bodies of Elvis Presley and his mother, Gladys, is going up for auction next month. The two were placed in the crypt together for two months when Elvis died August 16, 1977. They were then moved to Presley’s Graceland home.
The tomb, located in a mausoleum at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee, is part of a “Music Icons” auction taking place on June 23.
The winning bidder will get the crypt, the opening and closing of the vault for burial, a memorialization inscription and use of the chapel for a committal service.
You will, however, have to get your own ride as transportation is not included.
