Game Pack would be enough for me. Though they've had a history of going light on the EPs, I honestly can't see them filling out an EP with things relating to death/funerals/etc.
What bothers me with game packs for themes like this is that it's always the bare minimum like Dream Home Decorator, My Wedding Stories...And I feel like they wouldn't go as deep as they could.
And yet, we've also recently had Werewolves, which is arguably the best Occult pack of the three (and the most recent Game Pack) I could point out a couple of other Game packs that aren't particularly light either (Parenthood comes to mind, and Jungle Adventure), but they're older. Point being that GP vs EP actually has no bearing on the depth of a pack, only how many workhours and outsourced assets they can put in.
I really think that a game pack would suit a death pack. It's niche and doesn't have the same asset demands as say... horses (which is the only reason I give Horse Ranch a pass on being as shallow as it was) and their recent track record with EPs suggest they'd go more broad than deep if they were to do a death EP.
I'm not a fan of Parenthood at all to be honest.
But What I'm talking about is more about the theme itself. For example, vampires, werewolves and realm of Magic are perfect game packs to me cause they focus on one system. While Dream Home Decorator feels like a stuff pack theme (like Moschino) and to go big with it, real estate should have been at least there. And for My wedding stories, the theme of wedding is too narrow when it's a very big part of people's lives: it could have been a whole love Expansion (with attraction system, upgraded dating system, more wedding themes for build/buy, and of course a better way to handle divorce). I don't know if you see what I'm meaning with an expanding theme but to me huge themes like Love, Death, Growth shouldn't be restricted to a Game Pack cause it's limiting their full potential imo.
