Cody's Spirit Is Fading Away ....
... go and visit his resting place to keep him in this world - or words to that effect. Is this a new interaction, as I've not had it before?

It is something that came with Cats and Dogs patch in November.
It introduced the new culling system with increased sim limit, ability to protect sims (the limit of sims you can protect can be changed) and new ghost culling system. Also, with this, sims who get deleted won't be erased from the family tree anymore.
The ghost culling system is like this: After the sim dies, they have 90 days until they get deleted. The timer can be resetted by clicking on their gravestone and choosing to strenghten the connection. Releasing them to the netherworld will now delete them early (and you really won't be seeing them again). By adding them to the household, the timer will stop, but ghost can once again choose to go to the netherworld and get deleted. If a NPC sim who's living in a house dies, you can find their grave somewhere in their home. Once the ghost gets culled, they'll be removed from the relationship panel and their grave can be deleted. However, they will stay in the family tree.
