What do you do with graves and urns when you move house?

I have a grave on my lot and I want to move my family to a bigger house but not sure what to do with the grave. Didn't know if you need to put it in your inventory or not.

Thank you.
That's a good idea, hadn't thought of that.
My graveyard has different areas with different families. There are some random townies in there so if I need to make space, those will go. Despite being on a small lot, there is actually a lot of space. I also put tiny Newcrest Park next door and there's a spa and library nearby. It's kind of a quiet and reflective area.
I've not had a problem with it... what is bugged out with moving them.
Do you remember when it got bugged back in the day when you clicked on 'move' on the headstone (to a different lot) they did patch that ( I think Pets EP was the culprit IIRC) (Disappeared) but later it broke again with BV. I was told by a modder to never use move again since it wasn't perfect and may or may not work but to always take it to the lot I wanted to place it on then not to use 'run here' then place. I did test these things years ago and they were correct, it was still bugged after BV. Especially (50% chance it disappears) if you click run here then place headstone. Move somewhere remains risky, too. I can't stress enough the comp packs don't really contain all the patches. Like Double Deluxe, Fun With Pets, and Store Editions. And DD and FWP is what TS2UC uses. It's a risk to use 'move' to a different lot and or to run here before placing it by the Sim.
I'll remember, thanks!
@lulubadwolf I have that mod, not so much for the move interaction, but sometimes I get angry ghosts that like to beat on their own tombstone.
You can click on a headstone to move it to a different lot. I advise don't ever do it. It remains buggy.
Dang, good thing I never use the option then. I always take them by hand when I do, it is kinda like a goodbye for the family.
Make sure you have these mods nounlinkondelete and nocorruptdeath as they help with graves
If you are getting a message about (name) has died on another lot, I would be very wary of using that interaction. It's the same error message that turns up when you misuse the Tombstone of life and death to give a sim a death token or resurrect a sim who has one.
What are the "pretty odd issues," if I may ask? I can tell you if they're early signs of corruption.

I am thinking I might need to move the Dreamers, as Darren's new wife just had a baby, so the house is too small now, and I was concerned about his 1st wife's grave in the back yard.
Yes you can use it. It is called Gothier Green Lawns, and is located in the downtown subhood.

Well, one odd thing is that when I click the tombstone and choose "move" and it asks me where I want to move it, but then I get a message saying, " (name) has died on another lot and the spirit will return to the original lot" or something along those lines. I do have a NH cemetery I made and all the tombstones do end up there after saving my lot. Then again, my game has some pretty odd issues.

Thanks for the reply. I have lots of issues in my game, but I don't think they are related to the tombstones. I won't go into all of them, and I could probably start an entire thread on them, but it is mostly things like, Sims refusing to feed themselves unless the hunger need hits rock bottom and I have to direct them to the fridge, constant romantic interactions usually the same ones over and over even if their one or more of their needs is at rock bottom. I have actually had a Sim starve to death because she wanted to "serenade" her hubby. Another one is lets say Sim A has full attraction to Sim B, and Sim B is married to another Sim, Sim A will constantly follow Sim B around, like will walk all the way across the house just to sit in a chair next to Sim B, will view a picture over and over near Sim B, and will follow Sim B around like a lost puppy and Sim A will let their needs drop pretty low before I have to take over.
This happens on all my home lots regardless of how long that family has lived there even through several generations. I only play one custom NH. I am pretty sure this will happen in each NH.
