when my great grandmother died, some of the guests at the funeral asked my grandmother where the reception was
"at the towerhouse," she said (small restaurant in halifax).

they never turned up.

months later, she bumped into them. after a bit of embarrassment, they worked out that the guests had heard "t'our house" and had gone to their home, only to find it empty... with no mobile phones, they'd waited around for a bit, and then left.

I didn't want to seem rude, but that does sound like the most obvious explanation.
