Carl died in March 2025 after nearly 60 years of marriage to Dolly.
So if they are placed beside one another, their final resting place would bring closure to a love story that Dolly had spent decades carefully protecting from the public eye.
But perhaps what revealed Dolly’s character most clearly was a request that had nothing to do with her funeral.
Her family asked fans not to send flowers, but instead to donate to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the program she founded to provide free books to children.
It was such a dolly choice.
Even when people wanted to say goodbye to her, she still wanted that love to be transformed into something meaningful for children.
An Imagination Library may well be one of the legacies.
Dolly wanted to live longer than she did before her death.
She also left a message for the children receiving the program’s final books, encouraging them to read, pursue big dreams and care about others.
The program has distributed more than 300 million books to children around the world, And Dolly’s family wants that mission to continue even after she is gone.
Even more remarkably, Dolly had prepared works that would appear after her death.
She had recorded a secret song called My Place In History, written in 2015 and locked away for release in 2046, when Dolly would have turned 100..
She also wanted the Broadway musical about her life to continue being produced even if she were no longer there to see it.
In other words, Dolly was not simply preparing for death.
She was preparing for her story to continue being told after death, even though she is gone.
What Dolly Parton left behind for the world is not merely an enormous musical legacy or the title of a country music legend.
