Whats the nearest temple to or on Soi Khao talo what handles funerals?

Wat Boon Samphan at the junction with Soi Khao Noi would likely be the closest. I have been to a few funerals there, family members and friends.

There's a large temple called Wat Boonsampan just off the top of Khao Talo. Turn left into Khao Noi, continue for a few hundred yards down the hill and it's on the left at the sharp right turn in Khao Noi (aka Soi Boonsampan, it's actually named after the temple, so I have no idea why we call it Khao Noi). It handles funerals, you can see the crematorium chimney in the picture. Coordinates are also on the picture.

Interesting observation.

In October I had been driving there a couple of timew with a mate on the way to some German style restaurant (meeting point).

The name Khao Noi is a transcript of the Thai words for "little hill".

So its the little hill alley (ซอยเขาน้อย). Obvious why.

And even Thai people seem to use this nickname.

Just search for the term and you find some FB pages of businesses along the road.
