Watch Live Funeral
Dolly Parton, the legendary country music singer, songwriter and philanthropist, died on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80. Her family has said that she will be honored with a small, private funeral service attended by immediate family members, in accordance with her wishes.
Parton had reportedly shared some of her wishes for her final farewell years before her death. She wanted the country-gospel song “If We Never Meet Again” to be part of her funeral, a song that held special meaning because it was her father’s favorite.
She is expected to be laid to rest beside her late husband, Carl Dean, at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville, Tennessee.
While the funeral will remain private, fans around the world continue to celebrate Dolly’s extraordinary legacy through her music, philanthropy and the countless lives she touched. Her family has encouraged supporters to honor her memory through tributes and donations to the Imagination Library rather than flowers.
