Bob Saget is being laid to rest today, with a gathering of close friends and family, including a reception held at the home of the ‘Full House’ creator.
According to multiple reports, the service and burial are being held at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park Cemetary in Los Angeles. The celebration of life will include just a small group of family and friends — with a larger memorial to be held at a later date.
One of Bob’s closest friends, creator of the show that made him a household name — Jeff Franklin — is hosting the reception at his home in L.A. As you know, Saget was Jewish and the religion normally holds burials quickly after a death.

Co-star John Stamos took to social media and hinted at preparing for the memorial, tweeting, “Today will be the hardest day of my life. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” The ‘Full House’ star broke his silence on the death, posting a lengthy and emotional message on Instagram.
“I’m not ready to accept that he’s gone – I’m not going to say goodbye yet. I’m going to imagine him out there, still on the road, doing what he loves with all his heart and humor. He’s standing on stage, killing! Another two-hour set in front of a couple hundred of the luckiest people on the planet. They’re laughing so hard, they weep,” he wrote.

Stamos revealed details of the touching last few hours of the comedian’s life — which included messages to his wife about feeling “alive” again while on a stand0-up comedy tour. “On his way to the hotel, he calls his beautiful, loving wife, Kelly. He says he feels 26 again, alive! Then asks her to fix up a picture he wants to post. She tells him it doesn’t need fixing, and tells him how handsome he is. He tells her he loves her with every bit of his heart. And when he gets to the hotel to put his head on the pillow, he misses his daughters, his family, his friends,” he said.
As we reported, Bob Saget died inside an Orlando, Florida hotel — after staff found him unresponsive in his room. An autopsy has been performed, and no immediate cause of death could be determined. Investigators believe the actor might have suffered a heart attack or stroke based on the position he was in, and evidence in the room. There was no evidence of foul play or drug use.
