Most Expensive Funerals in the World

Elvis Presley's 1977 funeral, featuring a 17-limousine procession, 80,000 fans, and 300 National Guard troops deployed by President Jimmy Carter, concluded with his burial in a 900-pound bronze coffin next to his mother at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis; however, due to an attempted body theft, both were later relocated and buried on the Graceland property, as recounted in Peter Guralnick's 1999 book "Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley."
