How do you give Sims a funeral when they're dead

[Pheobe-May Darwin]

When my sims die, I would like them to be buried at a funeral. How do I do this?

Hi Pheobe and welcome to the forum. You can't have sims buried, but you can have a funeral "party." Have your sim use a phone and click "Throw Party" then you will have a drop down box on the left hand side. If a sim in your household has just died, the option "Funeral" will be available. Then pick an attire and select your guests. Hope this helps you.

I didn't know this! This game will keep surprising me with things like this...

I've customized a way to have a mock funeral. I was inspired by the little underground bar at the cemetery in Sunset Valley.

I remodel the graveyard with a basement...room enough for a bar and a few anti-chambers, and a large chamber for the family I'm playing in that neighborhood. I use the "platform" foundation to create a sort of crypt where you can place an urn. And then I have the offspring of the parents collect all the parent's awards, mementos, etc. and using "build on this lot" (shift + control + click on ground) from having testingcheats on, I purchase any pedestals or what not to place the awards mementos, etc. at the head of the appropriate parent's crypt.

So, it's not really a funeral, but it is a nice way to remember the lineage. Just be sure to finalize any changes prior to placing the Sim's things in/on the crypt. If you go into "Edit mode" once they're placed all the items will go directly to your Sim's inventory and you'll have to place them again. But, you can always use the "build on this lot" option without that happening.
