Family Legacy memorial (cemetery)

I used Peaceful Hill Cemetery by dsjack001 on the Gallery. It's a 40x30 lot with 5 mausoleums.

I'm playing a challenge right now where keeping heirlooms and portraits is part of it. There's a hallway in the house where these items are displayed. I choose to keep my ghosts around, since I get a kick out of them, so their urns are in the hallway as well and they drop by when they feel like it or when a friendly family spellcaster casts Necrocall on them. :)

omg wow that is awesome kinda like haunted house with family visiting - what pack would i need for urns

Urns are basegame :) When a sim dies (assuming you're playing the family or visiting the lot where the sim dies) the Grim Reaper leaves an urn behind. It displays as an urn indoors, tombstone outdoors. They can be moved around or even put in a sim's inventory to be carried to another lot.

I tend to have big families who are plagued with multiples, so I'd have 3-5 kids every gen. I can't keep urns on my home lot due to my families being big, so I used to have a cemetery lot where I'd place their graves. Now I've scrapped that idea since I have too many families in favor of a haunted house with my urns locked in a basement. It's nice since the homeowner is a paranormal investigator and he'd always have company at night (:

i thought you could release the spirit also? set it free? how come no tombstone in the only and only urns?

I have two cemetary lots. One for sims and one for pets.

For the cemetery in my decade challenge I had used Monument aux morts by Sims_in_time as a base and placed this on Vlad's lot. I added some walkways and placed the gravestones at the end of the ww1. At first the graves were next to the churches, but then I realised I need more space. With the time it grew, changed with some cc. It's always nice to remember these long passed-away sims. At the end of the challenge I had released most of the non-family ghosts. The cemetery is looking like this right now.

I'm actually in the process of building a functional "Cemetery/Crypt" lot. I'm starting with a 20X15. Then I plan to make larger versions.

What would be the best venue type? "National Park"?

If you don't mind no one else coming there, I've had good luck with the "Generic" lot type. There are no lot requirements to put there with a Generic lot.

I also started on a 20x15 lot as a small garden cemetery, then built crypt basements below for urns when I ran out of space on the ground above.
