Graceland-Memphis,Tn.

The IHS (In His Service)
marble family monument was originally in the family plot at
Forest Hill Cemetary. It was moved to Graceland in 1977.




At the head of Elvis's grave burns an eternal flame, which sits
atop a marble base marked by a bronze plaque.
The plaque is inscribed with a touching statement written by his father, Vernon.
Also there's an inscription on the top of the gravestone:

He was a precious gift from God,
we cherished and loved dearly.
He had a God-given talent that he shared
with the world. And without a doubt.
He bacame most widely acclaimed:
Capturing the hearts of young and old alike.
He was admired not only as an entertainer,
but as the great humanitarian that he was.
For his generiousity. And his kind feelings
for his fellow man.
He revolutionized the field of music and
received it's highest awards.
He became a living legend in his own time.
Earning the respect and love of millions.
God saw that he needed some rest and
called him home to be with Him.
We miss you Son and Daddy. I think God
that He gave us you as our Son.
