The Hollywood Reporter reports that the company decided to not sell the empty tomb at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tenn. Darrien Julien indicated they won't sell it "until Forest Hills finds a plan that best suits the interest of the fans while respecting and preserving the memory of Elvis Presley."

The original crypt has remained empty since October 1977 when Elvis' body was moved from that cemetery to be reburied at Graceland.
