I’m a bit of a mensch, so I have to admit I don’t know much about funeral homes. What I do know is that I would like to go to one that offers a more organic, no-touch-of-death service.
Blyth is a funeral home where you can “wake up” and be cremated at home. It has two locations in the area, one in the South Bay and one in East Palo Alto. In the South Bay, you can visit them at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. every day. In the East Palo Alto location, you can go at 1 p.m. every day. The closest hospitals are Palo Alto and Oakland.
I was actually a little surprised at this. I have always thought that most funerals are pretty “organic” in the sense that they don’t need to be “interviewed” or “interviewed” by a funeral director. Instead, they’re just an opportunity to say goodbye to the person you loved, and that’s it. But I guess I was wrong.
Palo Alto and Oakland are both big California cities so that’s probably not the only thing to do. Blyth also has a funeral home there and the funeral home is in Blyth, so you can actually visit him, but only on certain days.
I have no idea what to recommend other than to say give a funeral a chance. Most people would feel bad about dying if they didnt, and funerals are a really good way to do that.
Also, funerals are really important, especially in the Bay Area. I know I am very biased, but most people I know who die in the Bay Area go to a funeral. I remember my brother dying in 2007, and I just felt awful. It was like my entire life was ruined, it was just the end of the world. I remember thinking that was the last time I would ever see him, and I was so sad I literally cried.
It’s not just about the death, though. Funerals are also a great opportunity for people to show their true colors. It’s something I think a lot of newer Bay Area residents need to do. They want to make the right impression, and it’s hard to get people to do that when they see the whole funeral home thing.

It’s like my mother used to say when I was a kid. “I know you’re trying to make a good impression, but not all your friends know you’re a douche.
