Need Advice - my first sim death and funeral

Do you have any painters who maxed out the career and can always paint emotional paintings? I haven't played with painters in awhile, but iirc they can paint a sad painting; have 'em make a few, or make one, save it to your library, and download multiple copies. Place them where the sims will be gathering for the funeral, and turn on the emotional aura. (You can also just find such paintings in the gallery, again assuming I remembered correctly.)
As for a realistic death, if you have Seasons, death by overheating has real-world parallels. So does death by exhaustion, and that doesn't require anything but the base game. You can woohoo your elder to death if you queue up a number of those actions. Over-exercising is harder, as they'll get off the exercise machine, drop everything queued, and any further exercising is greyed out.
I've been getting phone notifications of deaths, but the sadness debuff hasn't been 100% reliable for my sims whether they witness the death or not; hence my suggestion to force the issue with paintings.
Hope that helps--and that you get the story and ceremony you want!
