Norma's funeral

As much as I love it for its weirdness and creepiness, it's not realistic that it'd be fully empty, there would've been a notice in the local paper (unless Norman blocked it, but seems they'd show that?), and there would've been a few guests. And the funeral workers would've previously asked about other participants, might've been aware of Dylan as well

I think Norman blocked the notice.

Dylan didn't find out about her death until 5 years after the fact. Norma didn't have a lot of friends other than Romero, who was in jail.

It didn’t seem unbelievable to me. On the contrary, it emphasised how shallow, isolated and disconnected Norma’s life had become through dealing with her son’s insanity.
