Dolly Parton’s loved ones gathered at her Nashville burial site, Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum, for an emotional goodbye on Friday. Parton will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Carl Dean, who died last March at age 82. Her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, shared the GRAMMY winner will be buried in 'a beautiful bed of plush cotton,' adding, after a lifetime of wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and get some rest. ET's special tribute to the superstar, ' Remembering Dolly: A Rhinestone Life,' airs Aug 30. at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+.
