Julien’s Auctions is having a pop music memorabilia sale, and they’re auctioning off the entrance to a private crypt that once held Elvis Presley and his mother Gladys’ body for two months before they were buried at Graceland in 1977. Darren Julien, president of Julien’s Auctions doesn’t think it’s morbid, and told The NY Times, “I just consider that if you’re an ultimate fan of Elvis Presley, it’s an opportunity. It’s definitely a conversation piece. Only one person can say, ‘Hey, I’m going to be buried where Elvis Presley was.’”

Uh, yeah that’s not morbid at all…I hope they are able to get the stench of the sequins and booze out of that crypt before the auction starts next month.

The lot has the starting price of $100,000 which includes “the opening and closing of the vault and crypt for burial; a memorial inscription; and the use of a chapel for a committal service. (The new owner cannot move the crypt, and transportation and funeral home charges are not included.)”

Other items that will be sold at the auction include: Amy Winehouse’s robe from her music video, “Rehab”; a cigarette pack signed by the Beatles and other collectables…including that darn crypt. 

Who wants it??? Not it.

    Well, when someone buys it, we’ll have another trivia question to replace “Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”
