Lisa Marie Presley chose to keep her son Benjamin's body at home for two months after his tragic suicide. This was a way for her family to spend more time with him and say their goodbyes. It's not something most people would do, but it's how the Presley family has always dealt with loss. When Elvis Presley died in 1977, Lisa Marie did the same thing. She found a supportive funeral home that allowed them to keep Benjamin at home. Riley Keough, Lisa Marie's daughter, shared that this helped the family deal with their grief. They were able to spend time with Benjamin and talk to him. It was only after they got tattoos similar to Benjamin's that they felt he wanted to leave. Both Lisa Marie and Benjamin are now buried at Graceland, Elvis Presley's estate. This personal memoir, "From Here to the Great Unknown," gives us a glimpse into Lisa Marie's extraordinary life. It was co-written with her daughter Riley and completed after Lisa Marie's death last year.
