Lisa Marie Presley has not been laid to rest ahead of her public memorial service, despite reports.

The late singer’s rep confirmed to Page Six on Friday that Presley was not buried at Graceland’s Meditation Garden on Thursday, as Us Weekly and Entertainment Tonight reported.

A Graceland employee tells us that her funeral will take place on Sunday, followed by a burial.

Attendees of Presley’s public memorial service that same day will “get a chance to walk by the body,” the insider adds.

Presley’s eldest daughter Riley Keough’s rep told Page Six last week that her mom’s final resting place would “be at Graceland, next to her beloved son Ben.”
