Lisa Marie Presley had a deeply emotional reason for keeping her son Benjamin’s body on dry ice after his passing.

After her son Benjamin passed away, Lisa Marie Presley kept his body on dry ice for two months for a very heartbreaking reason. Just under four years had gone since the terrible suicide death of her son Benjamin Keough, when Lisa Marie, 54, passed away in January 2023.

Lisa Marie, the sole child of Elvis Presley, departed from her twin children, Harper and Finley Lockwood, who are 16 years old, and her daughter Riley Keough, who is a star of Daisy Jones & The Six. Riley finished a book she had written, From Here to the Great Unknown, and it was published on October 8 following her death.

In her memoir, Lisa Marie discussed Benjamin’s sudden passing in 2020 and disclosed that she had held his body for two months before burying him in a casita bedroom. As she had explained to her father, Elvis Presley, “there is no law in California that requires someone to be buried immediately,” and she felt it was important to give Benjamin the time she needed to say goodbye.

Lisa Marie was just nine years old when Elvis passed away, so having his body at home and being able to visit and talk with him had been consoling. Throughout that time, she kept Benjamin’s remains at 55 degrees while debating whether to bury him in Graceland or Hawaii.

She acknowledged in the biography, “I became so accustomed to him being there, taking care of him… I was grateful that I could continue to raise him until I was ready to say goodbye, even if it was only for a short while longer.

The Heartwarming Response to a Little Girl’s Wish

We’ve all experienced wanting to do something but lacking permission, especially as kids. This heartwarming story is about a little girl who couldn’t resist her curiosity. She knocked on her neighbor’s door but got no response. Undeterred, she left a heartfelt letter in their mailbox asking, “Could she use their basketball hoop to shoot some hoops after school?”

To her surprise, she later found a genuine and kind reply in her mailbox. Not only did her neighbors give her permission to use the hoop, but they also encouraged her to have fun, writing, “Enjoy yourself and have a great time!”

In a world where people often hold tightly to what they own, this act of generosity was truly heartwarming. It gave the little girl a chance to enjoy some exercise and restored our faith in humanity.

This moment reminds us of the importance of kindness and how a simple act can make a big difference. The neighbors’ willingness to share their basketball hoop turned a small request into a significant gesture of community and goodwill.

Next time you have an opportunity to bring a smile to someone’s face, go for it. You never know how much it might mean to them. Simple acts of kindness can create lasting memories and strengthen the bonds within our communities.
