Dolly Parton buried in private ceremony in Nashville on Friday

Country music icon Dolly Parton was buried in a private ceremony in Nashville on Friday alongside her late husband, Carl Dean. Following her passing at age eighty, the family has requested donations to her literacy charity in lieu of flowers.

Legendary singer Dolly Parton was laid to rest on Friday during a private ceremony held at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville. She was interred in a crypt beside her husband, Carl Dean, who had passed away in March 2025. The couple shared a marriage spanning nearly sixty years, and their shared crypt now bears a bronze plaque depicting both their names and their family home.

Parton passed away on Tuesday at the age of eighty, with her family revealing that she had been diagnosed with cancer shortly before her death. Following the burial, the family established guestbooks at the site for fans to leave messages. Instead of floral tributes, the family has requested that visitors honor her memory by making donations to her charity, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, an initiative that provides free books to children.
