The House of Death and Desire
Growing up in a funeral home creates a unique relationship with mortality. In Alison Bechdel's world, death wasn't an abstract concept but a daily reality. The Victorian Gothic house in rural Pennsylvania served as both family residence and business, with embalming rooms downstairs and living quarters above. This unusual arrangement meant young Alison regularly encountered the tools of the mortician's trade and witnessed the steady stream of grieving families passing through their doors. The family nicknamed it "Fun Home" with characteristic dark humor that threads throughout Bechdel's childhood. But beneath this literal business of death lay something more complex. The funeral home operated as a perfect metaphor for the family's emotional landscape. Just as corpses are prepared and presented in an idealized form for public viewing, the Bechdels maintained a carefully constructed facade. The viewing rooms, with their heavy drapes and somber lighting, served as stages where families performed their grief, while the preparation room below housed the raw reality of death. The funeral home itself operated as a business of appearances, where the family helped others process grief while unable to address their own emotional truths.
