Lisa Marie Presley was buried at Graceland after a public memorial service. The tribute was held on the front lawn of Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, where the general public was invited to pay their respects to the late singer.
Presley’s mother, Priscilla, was on hand to pay tribute to her daughter. Other celebrities who took to the stage to remember Lisa Marie included Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, film producer Joel Weinshanker, the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, Billy Corgan, Alanis Morissette and Axl Rose.
As Weinshanker took the stage, he said Lisa Marie said at her funeral, “Don’t make it sad.”
“Lisa, today we’re going to try to accommodate your request,” the filmmaker added.

Before the public memorial service, the family encouraged “anyone who would like to send something to do so in the form of a donation to the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation” in lieu of flowers.
On January 12, Lisa Marie was hospitalized after suffering a cardiac arrest. In the afternoon, Priscilla told the AP that her daughter had died.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating news that our beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has passed away. She was the most passionate, strongest and most loving woman I have ever known,” she said in a statement.
