Second burial 1977

[Billy Budd]

What happened when Elvis was finally buried at Graceland in October 1977. I mean who went to the second burial? Vernon? Delta? Cilla?

Any photos? If so, where to be found? (net, books, footage). I have seen the photos (a dozen) of the grave from October 1977. But does any photos excist of the actual ceremony at the Meditation Garden?

This has always been a mystery to me.

Please help.

I've never seen any photos nor heard who was there.

Interesting question, I have no clue.

,i dont believe there was.

I only know, from what Ive read, that it was done at night so there wouldnt be hoards of fans around. I dont imagine there were many people there, even family. I expect Vernon was.

I remember seeing footage of fans being interviewed outside the gate the night they (supposedly) bought Elvis back for this.

And I remember watching footage on YouTube of the hearses entering Graceland but I can't find it so whether I'm wrong or it has been removed.

[Teddy]

Yeh, I think I saw that.

[Donut]

Good, I was starting to think I had imagined it all.

[riley]

Cilla nor Lisa were present

[MissyM]

Oo, hope that footage can be found. It is said that Priscilla only returned to Graceland once the first year after Elvis died. So I'm thinking maybe it was for this, or to see Vernon. Here's the quote.

She has returned to Memphis only once since the funeral. "Elvis' death affected her deeply," says the friend. "But she's strong now—she's her own person."

I believe the moving of Elvis' body from the mausoleum to Graceland was done quietly, so they could avoid publicity to prevent anything from happening.

[MissyM]

That makes sense.

[Donut]

I could only find the thumbnails. The video has been deleted by YouTube.

[Billy Budd]

Does anyone have a clip of the mentioned You Tube pictures above? I mean could anybody upload them at Megaupload or something?

[Billy Budd]

Mike,

You are correct. The moving of the bodies took place in the early evening hours of October 2, 1977.

And this was the first 'burial' for Elvis. If you're in a mausoleum, you aren't "buried". Buried means that you've been placed in the ground - and this didn't happen for Elvis until October 2, 1977.
