Elvis Presley crypt put up for auction

Elvis Presley crypt has been put up for auction, it has been reported.

Beverly Hills auctioneer Darren Julien has opened up the late star's tomb to bids from fans.

The tomb, located at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee, is set to be auctioned off on June 23 as part of a 'Music Icons' collection.

After his death in 1977, Presley was laid to rest in the tomb for two months until his remains were moved to his Graceland home.

According to TMZ, a winning bidder will gain ownership of the crypt, a memorialisation inscription, opening and closing of the vault for burial, and use of the chapel for committal service.

Julien's Auctions has in the past sold Michael Jackson's famous 'Thriller' jacket, as well as a jacket worn by John Lennon.
