Teddi Mellencamp revealed her dad, John Mellencamp, is already planning for her burial in their family mausoleum in Indiana as she battles stage 4 cancer.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum recalled the rocker calling her multiple times in a row to have the morbid discussion on Tuesday’s episode of her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast.

“Finally, I answer, I’m like, ‘I’m in the bath. Let me live a little,’” she said. “He goes, ‘I just want to make sure you’re going to be in our group family mausoleum.

Teddi, 43, then wondered whether there would also be space in the mausoleum for her three kids, Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5.

“He’s like, ‘Well, there’s going to be the top five and then we’re gonna have little areas around it, and then that’s where everyone’s going to get buried,’” the reality star explained.

“He goes, ‘You’re doing your will right now, so you may as well put it in there.’”

Teddi ultimately agreed, telling co-host Tamra Judge that she would travel to Indiana to visit the burial site.

She joked that the quote “Hot girls never die” would be engraved on her tombstone.

The Bravolebrity shares her three children with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave. The two split in October 2024 after nearly 14 years of marriage.

Teddi was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2022, but doctors discovered she had brain tumors in February.

She was rushed into surgery to have four tumors removed, which doctors believed “had been growing for at least six months.”

​​”These are all a direct result of my melanoma,” she shared via Instagram in March.

Doctors have since found additional tumors in her brain and lungs.

“I’m fighting for my life, but also for my family’s life and all the people I love,” Teddi told Us Weekly in an interview published last week.

She added that cancer is “definitely the hardest thing” she has ever had to face.
