Located behind the Graceland mansion, the Meditation Garden was originally constructed in 1964-1965 and wasmeant as a place for contemplationfor the singer, per Elvis Austalia.

While the garden — which people can visit during tours of Graceland — serves as Elvis' final resting place, it isn’t where he was first buried.

On Aug. 18, 1977, two days after his death, Presley was buried next to his late mother, Gladys, at Memphis' Forest Hill Cemetery.

However, an attempt was made to steal his 900-lb., steel-lined, copper-plated coffin and hold the remains for ransom. Three men were arrested, though the scheme was so flimsy that they could only be charged with trespassing in the cemetery. Fearing copycat criminals, Presley’s body, as well as Gladys', was moved to Graceland.

Since then, other family members of Elvis have been buried at the estate.

From who’s buried there and what the Presleys have said about it, here’s everything to know about Graceland’s Mediation Garden.
