Trivia
The title is a direct translation of the Italian aria "Nessum Dorma" which features in the episode's funeral scene.

Goofs
David claims that there are more bones in human feet than the rest of the body combined. This is not true. There are 26 bones in each foot, totaling 52. Human body has about 210 bones.

Quotes
Lisa: Nate used to be like that... sometimes you just have to hang in there and wait.
Claire: Wait for what?
Lisa: For them to grow up.
Claire: If I'd known he was going to be such a jerk I never would have slept with him in that crematorium.

Soundtracks
Une Larme
Written by Modest Mussorgsky (as Mussorgsky)

A rare occasion where A Six Feet under ends in moment(s) of elation for the Fischer family. Claire is having higher aspirations, and the funeral is probably one of the best of the series. Out of what has been a pretty lackluster and in-between season so far, this hits home as one of the stronger episodes.
