So I have some suggestions for funerals. First I do hope we have various kinds of coffin designs along with being able to have a simple pine box since coffins are expensive. I think it would add variety if we have different kinds of headstones as well, and being able to leave flowers for loved ones. It would be nice to have family crypts eventually as well for those that have large families. For the actual funeral itself I do think zois should have varied reactions based on how close they were with the zoi that died. So zois that attend that maybe hated them will pretend to cry, maybe laugh at them when no one is looking or after everyone has left, maybe write mean things on their headstone, dance on their grave, etc. Zois that are have a somewhat close relationship can still cry but may be able to get through their grief faster, while zois that were very close will grieve longer. They may not want to eat as much or even eat more during that time. Having those zois that were very close zois fall to their knees in despair while crying. Some zois can be in a state of denial about it as well. Over time some zois may have a bittersweet feeling about it as they’ll still be sad that their loved one passed but knows that the zoi ( hopefully) lived a long full life. Other zois can also just be angry and sad about it too.
I do hope that when we get a memory system that zois are able to reflect on their loved ones death and that they have an option to go visit their loved ones grave and leave new flowers, cry it out or simply just have a conversation with them about how much they miss them or maybe tell them about how their life has been going lately. And if we have the option to cremate zois I think besides having urns, we could also have columbariums. I hope multiple zois are able to speak about the passed zoi and some npcs zois can also bring food to the deceased zois family
Note* I have posted this on the discord thread for 10.10.2025 but I figured I’d post it here too just incase
May edit this later
