[@Aeolian] Perhaps one of the elder Funérailles did the ritual for Vogel's father and our characters know each other in passing mention only?

It is possible. Funérailles are very rare and most still reside on their islands, so most people who are looking to have a Funérailles put their loved ones to rest would have had to travel to their island to have it done. Eve has only been performing Mer de rêves locally for Oakridge City citizens for the past two years. Which, depending on how long ago Vogel's father passed away, his body could have been brought to her island years ago. Eve took over as the official Funérailles for her island when she was 10, her grandmother having held the role for decades before she passed it down to Eve. So it is very possible that Eve's grandmother was the Funérailles who performed Mer de rêves for Vogel's father, but she probably would not remember that since she was still only a young child.

But, if an Elder Funérailles did perform Mer de rêves for Vogel's father, it would have had to have been several years ago, back when Eve's grandmother was still the official Funérailles, unless, Vogel's father was brought to a different Funérailles on a different island. 

But, one of Eve's side characters, Marcus, is a regular patron at Vogel's bars I imagine. It is possible that Marcus may have mentioned Vogel in brief conversation. Marcus is the "life of the party" kind of guy, so drinking comes naturally to him. Eve certainly could have heard of Vogel during one of his many recounts to her about his thrilling life in the city, including his bar hopping antics. LOL
