An embalmer and grave digger’s game

Happy Grave is a free simulation game for mobile coming from Mo Game Pro. In it, players take on the task of preparing the deceased for their final departure. As part of a funeral simulator experience, they will clean and bury the dead to give them a proper sendoff.

Similar to the concept of Surgeon Simulator, Happy Grave draws from the life of real-life occupations and emulates it into a video for players to experience. In its case, it’s about the day-to-day duties and responsibilities of a professional embalmer working at a funeral home that perform ceremonies for the dead.

Laying the dead to rest

Death is the natural course and conclusion to the journey of life. As such, it’s treated as sacred and momentous as giving birth. Funeral homes serve as transitionary spaces for the deceased as they are prepared to be laid in their final resting place. In comes Happy Grave, a game that puts you in the shoes of a professional embalmer who bandages and adorns the dead before burial.

As part of your duties and responsibilities of being the official embalmer, you will ceremoniously conduct the cleaning of bodies using makeup to remove any spots and marks from their skin. Next would be to dress them in formal clothes to make them presentable for the open casket funeral service, wherein family, relatives, and friends will come to see their loved ones one last time.

Lastly, you also take on the role of a gravedigger in Happy Grave and prepare where the coffin will be laid by digging up the ground and putting up a gravestone after burial. Now, the game is available for free, hence the presence of ads is to be expected. However, they can be quite intrusive, appearing way too frequently in between every action you make.

A proper sendoff

There have been plenty of simulation games based on real-life professions like medicine, agriculture, and others. In that regard, Happy Grave truly stands out for attempting to place you in the shoes of an embalmer. Some will find it disturbing and morbid, but it is presented in a decent and tactful manner. If you don’t mind the more serious theme, it’s worth a play.
