Lisa Marie Presley kept her son’s body at home for two months after his death in 2020.

Presley’s memoir, “From Here to the Great Unknown,” published Tuesday, shows why.

The book was written by Presley and her actor daughter Riley Keough and completed by Keough after Presley’s death, using tapes recorded by her mother.

Presley, 54, died in January 2023 from a small bowel obstruction that was a complication of a bariatric surgery she had years earlier.

Presley wrote that after her son Benjamin Keough died in 2020, she kept his body on dry ice in a bedroom in her Los Angeles home for two months, according to a report from People.

Benjamin was 27 when he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“There is no law in the state of California that requires you to bury someone immediately,” Presley said in the book.

According to the book, she kept the room at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Riley Keough, 35, said in the book that her mother “wanted plenty of time to say goodbye to him, just as she had done with her father.”

Presley was 9 years old when her father Elvis Presley died in 1977 at the age of 42.

“Having my father around after he died was incredibly helpful because I was able to spend time with him and talk to him,” Lisa Marie wrote.

She had been thinking about where to bury Benjamin – at Graceland, Elvis’ home, or in Hawaii.

“That was part of the reason it took so long,” she said in the book. “I got so used to taking care of him and keeping him there. I think it would scare the hell out of anyone else if their son was there like that. But not me.”

Keough also recalled how, after Benjamin’s death, they got tattoos that matched his tattoos of their names: he had Riley inked on his collarbone and Lisa Marie inked on his hand.

To do this, Presley invited a tattoo artist to view the tattoos on Benjamin’s body.

“I’ve had an extremely absurd life, but this moment is in the top five,” Keough wrote.

Later, both mother and daughter got the “vibe” from Benjamin that he didn’t want to be there anymore.

He was buried at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.

“I felt so lucky that there was a way I could still raise him, and put it off a little longer so I could be okay with letting him rest,” Presley wrote of the experience.
