Dolly Parton, the country music legend whose career stretched across seven decades, had a surprisingly simple wish for her final resting place. After years of performing in glittering costumes and living under the glare of the spotlight, she wanted to be laid to rest somewhere soft and comfortable.
The detail was shared by her nephew Bryan Seaver, who announced Parton’s death at the age of 80 in an emotional video posted to her official Instagram account on August 25. Parton died peacefully in Nashville, with her family confirming her death.
