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.

What a tale! Your description perfectly captures the shock, frustration, and ultimately the humor in handling a “grown-up child” husband! You really brought out the feeling of stepping into an unexpected disaster, where Mark’s lack of responsibility totally flipped the script. Sarah’s approach to teaching him a lesson with the chore chart and screen time rules was both hilarious and effective, bringing some well-deserved accountability.

The tension peaked nicely with the reveal of Mark’s mom arriving—it’s a classic, funny twist that’s satisfying as she backs Sarah up while Mark realizes he may have gone a step too far. And the addition of that last line, where Sarah holds onto the possibility of needing the “timeout corner” again, was a great finish.
