'cause the The King's original crypt is going up for auction and will will be one lucky bidder's permanent resting ground.<br /><br />Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills is set to offer up the iconic singer's tomb -- located at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee -- on June 23 as part of his "Music Icons" auction.<br /><br />Following his death on August 16, 1977, Elvis rested in the tomb for two months, alongside his mother Gladys. Both were then later re-buried at his Graceland home.<br /><br />The tomb, which has remained empty ever since, will hit the auction block on June 23. The winner will receive the crypt, opening and closing of the vault for burial, a memorialization inscription and use of the chapel for a committal service.<br /><br />Fun Fact: Julien's Auctions also sold Michael Jackson's "Thriller" jacket, Marilyn Monroe's "River of No Return Dress", and a jacket worn by John Lennon ... all went for $240k - $1.8 million. <br /><br /><br /><br />I haven't posted here in quite a while,so I apologise if this doesn't work.<br />Cheers

    The first line - "Elvis fans can die happy ... literally ... "  - I wonder if that could mean long time Elvis-is-alive believers will finally find out that he's alive.<br /><br />I like the MJ "Thriller" reference too.

    <br /><br />That's what I thought too.

    I guess they're trying to make money while they can.  Will they guarantee that Elvis actually 'slept' in that crypt?  :LolLolLolLol:<br /><br />Or will the lucky winner have to sue in court for misrepresentation? :thjajaja121:

    Elvis fans can die happy ... literally ... 'cause the The King's original crypt is going up for auction and will will be one lucky bidder's permanent resting ground.
    <br /><br />To die means (technically / geologically) to thin out.<br />
