Elvis Presley's Eternal Flame Memorial:
The Eternal Flame Inscription: by Janelle McComb is on its base, followed by the names that are inscribed on the sides:
TO ELVIS IN MEMORIUM
"You gave yourself to each of us in
some manner. You were wrapped in
thoughtfulness and tied with love.
May this flame reflect our never
ending respect and love for you.
May it serve as a constant reminder
to each of us of your eternal presence."
"Elvis Presley is buried on the grounds of Graceland, his mansion in Memphis, Tennessee (3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard, in Memphis, Tennessee), specifically in the Meditation Garden that lies next to the pool. Originally Elvis was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery at 1661 Elvis Presley Blvd. next to his mother, Gladys, but after a failed break-in by graverobbers, it was moved to its present location on October 3rd, 1977. Daughter Lisa Marie stated in 1999 that she was troubled by the number of tourists who visit the site every day and would like the grave moved to a private location."
