Memories of Elvis Presley’s public send-off nearly a half-century ago are bubbling up ahead of his daughter Lisa Marie’s public memorial at Graceland on Sunday.
Lisa Marie’s unexpected death and her Graceland burial plan have opened up old wounds for fans of the Presley family who still feel a deep connection to her father, Michael T. Bertrand told The Washington Post. He is a professor and historian of the American South at Tennessee State University in Nashville.
In fact, people were mourning Presley so much that FTD, the flowers-by-wire service, reported that more than 3,100 floral arrangements were ordered “You’d see glimpses, you’d see people crying, hysterical, fainting, and that’s how impactful it was and still to this day,” she said.
