Dolly Parton chose the song she wanted at her funeral years before her death

Dolly Parton’s life was defined by music, faith, generosity, and an extraordinary ability to bring comfort to others. Even the way she wanted to be remembered reflects the values she carried throughout her remarkable journey. A deeply meaningful hymn, “If We Never Meet Again,” has been associated with her family and carries special emotional significance because it was also heard at her father’s funeral. For those closest to Dolly, the song represents more than music. It represents love, faith, remembrance, and the hope of being reunited again.
