1. 0:00Why did Dolly [music] Parton refuse to
2. 0:01be buried in the family cemetery? The
3. 0:03heartbreaking reason behind it. Every
4. 0:04member of the Parton family [music] will
5. 0:06be laid to rest in Angel Hill in their
6. 0:07hometown after death, which Dolly
7. 0:09purchased for 200,000 US dollars.
8. 0:11[music] Surprisingly, however, she
9. 0:12herself refused to be buried in the
10. 0:13cemetery. Did she have a falling out
11. 0:15with her family before she passed away?
12. 0:17In fact, Dolly did not deliberately

15. 0:21Carl Dean. Carl avoided the public eye

27. 0:39two bought a double crypt in Nashville
28. 0:40during their lifetime. Carl passed away
29. 0:42last year, and Dolly will naturally be
30. 0:44interred beside [music] him. In
31. 0:45addition, Dolly worried that fans would
32. 0:46still visit her and her husband's graves
33. 0:48after her death. During her battle
34. 0:49against cancer, she spent 1 million US
35. 0:51dollars upgrading the burial site and
36. 0:53locking off this corridor so that only
37. 0:55family members are granted access. She
