<P> According to Mark Crispin Miller, Graceland became for Presley "the home of the organization that was himself, was tended by a large vague clan of Presleys and deputy Presleys, each squandering the vast gratuities which Elvis used to keep his whole world smiling ." The author adds that Presley's father Vernon "had a swimming pool in his bedroom", that there "was a jukebox next to the swimming pool, containing Elvis' favorite records" and that the singer himself "would spend hours in his bedroom, watching his property on a closed - circuit television ." According to the singer's cousin, Billy Smith, Presley spent the night at Graceland with Smith and his wife Jo many times: "we were all three there talking for hours about everything in the world! Sometimes he would have a bad dream and come looking for me to talk to, and he would actually fall asleep in our bed with us ." Priscilla Beaulieu also lived at Graceland for five years before she and Elvis wed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 1, 1967 . Their daughter Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968, and spent the first years of her life on the estate until her parents divorced in 1972, and she moved to California with her mother . Every year around Christmas, Lisa Marie Presley and all her family would go to Graceland to celebrate Christmas together . Lisa Marie often goes back to Graceland for visits . </P> <P> When he would tour, staying in hotels, "the rooms would be remodeled in advance of his arrival, so as to make the same configurations of space as he had at home--the Graceland mansion . His furniture would arrive, and he could unwind after his performances in surroundings which were completely familiar and comforting," the room in question,' The Jungle Room' being "an example of particularly lurid kitsch ." </P> <P> On August 16, 1977, Presley died in the bathroom at Graceland allegedly of a heart attack . Elvis Presley lay in state in a 900 - pound copper - lined coffin just inside the foyer while over 3,500 of Elvis' mourning fans passed by to pay their respects . A private funeral with 200 mourners was held on August 18, 1977 in the house, with the casket placed in front of the stained glass doorway of the music room . Graceland continued to be occupied by members of the family until the death of Elvis' aunt Delta in 1993, who had moved in at Elvis' invitation after her husband's death . Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, inherited the estate in 1993 when she turned 25 . Presley, his parents Gladys & Vernon Presley, and his grandmother Minnie Mae Presley are buried on the property in the Meditation Garden .
