There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.
— David Eagleman from Sum: Forty Tales of the Afterlife

Good point. It would make genealogy a lot harder though. 🙂
