How to keep string to use in next scene in Unity

Question

I have made a platforming game, and have a timer in my levels. When the player completes a level, I want to be able to access this timer stored as a string and output to a text box and present it to the player. However, as the scene is finished, the time is wiped and therefore nothing is shown. How do I get it so that the time is displayed? I have already tried using a DontDestroyOnLoad, but it hasn't worked.

TimerController script - Used to operate timer:

public class TimerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public static TimerController instance;

public Text timeCounter;

private TimeSpan timePlaying;
private bool timerGoing;

private float elapsedTime;
public string timePlayingStr;


private void Awake()
{
    instance = this;
    DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
}

private void Start()
{
    timeCounter.text = "Time: 00:00.00";
    timerGoing = false;
    BeginTimer();
}

public void BeginTimer()
{
    timerGoing = true;
    elapsedTime = 0f;

    StartCoroutine(UpdateTimer());
}

public void EndTimer()
{
    timerGoing = false;
}

private IEnumerator UpdateTimer()
{
    while (timerGoing)
    {
        elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        timePlaying = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(elapsedTime);
        timePlayingStr = "Time: " + timePlaying.ToString("mm':'ss'.'ff");
        timeCounter.text = timePlayingStr;

        yield return null;
    }
}
}

LoadSuccess script - Used to stop timer upon level completion:

public class LoadSuccess : MonoBehaviour
{
private TimerController GetTime;

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    SceneManager.LoadScene("Success");
    GetTime = FindObjectOfType<TimerController>();
    GetTime.EndTimer();
}
}

GetTimer script - Used to display timer once level is completed:

public class GetTimer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text YourTime;
    private TimerController GetTime;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
       string GetTime = FindObjectOfType<TimerController>().timePlayingStr;
        YourTime.text = GetTime;
    }

 
    }
