Dolly Parton Laid to Rest in Private Family Funeral in Nashville

Prior to her passing at 80 last week, Parton had requested that the traditional gospel hymn "If We Never Meet Again" be played at her funeral.

Dolly Parton was laid to rest in a private family funeral in Nashville on Friday (Aug. 28). The “Jolene” singer was buried next to her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, who died in 2025 at 82. The late singer’s great niece, Lainey Parton, confirmed details about the private ceremony, writing on Instagram, “This is a really hard post for me to make. I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words.”

According to E!, the small funeral for the singer who died on Aug. 25 at age 80 following what was described as a brief battle with cancer was held at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville.
