This is terrible the mausoleum has gotten in such mess. I use to work for a cemetery and the company that owns the cemetery and crypts have to keep this kept up. I am surprised the State of Tennessee has not fined them for not keeping the places in repair, because money is put in accounts to do this.

I'm surprised at how many mistakes there are in this video. Normally it is not the back door, but the front door of the Mausoleum that is opened. You also drive past Gladys' former grave twice, but on the video you point in the completely wrong direction where she would have been. You also don't say anything about Bobbie Jane Ayers Wrenn, Elvis's niece, who is buried right next to Gladys' old grave, Bobbie's mother, Lillian, Gladys' sister, is also buried here. The large white cross in the Meditation Garden originally stood behind Gladys' grave. The concrete foundation of this is still visible.

The more i look up about elvis the more im astonished. I was born in 85. But my family loves elvis. The guy took care of everyone it looked like - family wise atleast. What saddens me is how no matter how important you are in life eventually we will all be forgotten or barely known to anyone. The guy that owned holiday inn is a great example of that. Doesnt look like anything is done for his grave or that anyone cares. I hope lisas daughter continues to pass down elvis legacy to her daughter and so on. Soon everyone that personally knew elvis will be gone. I often think about stuff like that. Priscilla went through so many changes in generation with technology i always wonder what Elvis would think of the stuff out now.
