If you believe in God and Jesus why would you worship and idol of a "false god"? Cause dedicating a CHURCH to Dolly is like saying you belief in her MORE than God and Jesus, maybe you could make a fan museum or something, but a church would be ridiculous cause in no means would that please God, that'd be like telling God straight up that you care more about Dolly Parton than the good Lord himself!
I say throw that idea out the window, and make a FAN building, but not a CHURCH.

....I think you're overestimating the importance of burying a Joseph statue. That's kind of a relic of ethnic heritage more than anything. I've only ever heard it mentioned in passing in a sermon in the same way the local football team's performance would be mentioned in passing - a lighthearted gesture meant to break the ice before launching into the depth of the matter.

If you've never been to Mass, you should know that the sermon is generally on the Scripture readings - one OT, one epistles, one Gospel - either directly in the form of exegesis or indirectly in the form of expounding on the topic (ie, faith, virtue, calling).

Burying a St. Joseph statue isn't idolatry in the Biblical sense because it's not worship of something other than God. It's maybe totemism, but so is a stocking by the fireplace on Christmas morning, or ladies' wearing hats to church on Sunday.

If it were a devoted following that detracts from Christ, that's problematic. If it's something that someone does because their grandma told them it worked to sell their house, that's a part of someone's life what, maybe twice?

Contrast this with any pagan idolatry in the Bible - human sacrifices to Moloch, burnt offerings to Baal - it's not even remotely the same. The St. Joseph statue is a relic that connotes a sense of identity to family tradition and happens to have religious overtones. Nothing more.
