Funeral Event: Ideas and suggestions

With sims 4 our sims have the ability to host few events like a birthday party, dinner party or a house party yet one of the most important events still did not make it to the game. i.e The funeral event.

I will be suggesting that in the guru daily chats and hope we see something similar, do please share your ideas about the event too so I can sum them up all together.

- After a sim dies the household should have a whim to host a funeral event.
- Funeral events should also come with their set of goals.
- The host of the event should give a speech about the deceased to the guests.
- Sims should appear to the funeral dressed in formal black color!
- food should be provided for the guests
- Before the end of the event sim should be able to keep the grave on the lot or send it to a different community lot
- Mourning should be made in a different way. Some sims cry loudly and others just show a sad face.
- I think there should be few objects made specifically for the funeral event, like a coffin in different designs. Once the funeral event is finished the coffin should convert to a grave.
- Sims should be able to throw or place flowers on the coffin and the grave.

I find the funeral event is a good farewell for the dear sims we lose in future. Please if you have some suggestions or ideas do share them too.
  • Should be interesting. If it's like some families, someone will have to much to drink, or a fight will start. I like your idea, count me in.

    Yes, and maybe a baby shower event? If your celebrating a death, you should celebrate life.
    it could come in a generations like expansion pack.


    I agree!!!! Both would be amazing
  • we have funeral parties in Sims 2, I would like to see them in Sims 4 as well
  • I realize this is necroposting, but in this case that seems rather appropriate. Just an update, it is now 2021 and we STILL do not have funerals in the Sims 4. To me, this seems very disrespectful to our dead sims. You don't need to incorporate every elaborate suggestion in this thread, but honestly sims team, at least give us a simple event with goals related to actions we already have in game, like "mourn at tombstone/urn," "comfort sad sims," and/or "engrave epitaph." I know there are mods for this, but we shouldn't need mods. We had funerals in past sims games, so I don't see why we can't have them in Sims 4.
