Nooooooo! "Six Feet Under" has been cancelled?!

Did it really say “based on,” Bob? Because if you mean based on (as opposed to “set in”), them the fact that Fisher & Diaz is set in L.A. doesn’t preclude the real-life funeral home that inspired the show being in Pasadena.

Here’s the direct quote from the lede of the story:

It’s mourning time at HBO. “Six Feet Under,” the Emmy-winning series about the dysfunctional family behind a fictional Pasadena funeral home, is going the way of all flesh.

The show is not set in Pasadena. Nor does it look particularly like Pasadena.

Interestingly, Pasadena has no cemeteries nor crematoria nor columbaria. There are some funeral homes. But you have to go some place else to get planted.
