Actor Creator/DeForestKelley, famous for his role as [[Main/TheMcCoy Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy]] in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' passed away just a few weeks before the game was released. In the game's main campaign, if you are playing as the Federation, and if you have earned enough command points, you can add a CLH (a hospital ship) to your fleet. There is little point in doing so; even though it is based on the Texas-class Light Cruiser, its only armament is six of the weakest phasers in the game. While the entire game is not dedicated to him, one of the hospital ships is named the [[Creator/DeForestKelley USS DeForest Kelley]], likely a last-minute addition to the game.
* The penultimate cutscene in the campaign mode of ''VideoGame/StarcraftIIWingsOfLiberty'' has one [[spoiler:in the form of the dogtag that Jim Raynor picks up at a fallen Dominion Marine on Char]].

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** Rick May, the man who voiced the Soldier, passed away in 2020 from complications caused by [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic COVID-19]]. To pay respects, Valve updated the game by adding bronze statues of the Soldier performing his saluting taunt to most official maps[[note]]including Hightower and Doublecross, popular maps for Soldier rocket jumping shenanigans[[/note]], with the plaque on the pedestal reading: "Rick May 1940-2020: 'That was a hell of a campaign, son!'". When close to it, the statue will also occasionally play various Soldier voice lines.[[note]]These were originally temporary additions, but a permanent statue was added to Granary, where Meet the Soldier takes place in.[[/note]] Along with this, a new track was added to the music that plays on the main menu of the game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk_EZpqPUf8 entitled "Saluting the Fallen"]], a [=TF2=] rendition of remembrance staple The Last Post.
** After prominent Pyro main Sketchek seemingly died from a terminal illness, Valve added the text "Sketchek's Bequest" to the description of the Axtinguisher, his main weapon. This text was removed after Sketchek was discovered to have [[FakingTheDead faked his illness and death]].

** There is a tribute photo of Wrestling/OwenHart shown at the end of the intro of ''WWF Attitude'' on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 versions.
** ''WWE 2K15'' receives two dedications: one for Connor "The Crusher" Michalek (an eight-year-old boy with brain cancer who got to meet his wrestling hero, [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] and had passed away in April 2014), and WWE Hall of Famer Wrestling/UltimateWarrior, who died three days after his induction.
* One of the sidequests in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'' is a dedication to Jake Snipes, a gameplay programmer at Sony Santa Monica who passed away in 2020. As shared by Sam Hendrick, he and Jake were in talks over how they'd love to leave a symbol of the two's love in the game, and after Jake passed away and Sam asked the director Eric Williams if it would be possible to include a memorial to Jake in the game, it was then that Eric suggested the inclusion of the sidequest.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** In "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheTalesOfBaSingSe The Tales of Ba Sing Se]]", one segment of the episode centers around Iroh, who was voiced by {{Creator/Mako}}. However, Mako died shortly after the recording for the second season of ''Avatar'' was completed, so the Iroh segment of "Tales" carried a dedication to Mako at the end.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'':
** The show parodied this with a BrickJoke. First, Klaus is seen pretending the Smith family was on a DVD, and he's doing the commentary. This is forgotten until the final hobo-fight showdown, where he mentions one of the actors supposed to be in the scene had died beforehand, before apologizing for speaking over the funniest line in the entire episode (apparently). Then, just before the credits, we get a behind-the-scenes shot of Stan joking around with another actor, with 'In Memory' superimposed.
** A genuine one was done after "An Apocalypse to Remember" for Taylor Hall, a friend of Mike Barker's, who died in a car accident shortly before the episode premiered.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Many major awards ceremonies, such as the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards, take a few minutes to present an "In Memoriam" montage acknowledging major film/TV/what-have-you personalities who died in the period between ceremonies. However, the Academy Awards have been accused of limiting the number of acknowledged personalities in their use of this trope by omitting lesser-known but much-loved figures in favor of big names who have less-popular film resumes. In spite of this, the Academy Awards have tried to include tributes to other people in the entertainment industry or acknowledge more recent passings -- for example, at the 2014 Academy Awards, after camera assistant Sarah Jones was hit by a train on set in February, her name flashed onscreen after the proper segment had finished, and when Creator/BillPaxton passed away the day before the 2016 ceremony, presenter Creator/JenniferAniston mentioned him before the proper segment played.
* Music/WhitneyHouston passed away the day before the 2012 Grammys. Despite not having enough time to prepare any proper tribute, many of the presenters, award winners, and host Music/LLCoolJ paid tribute to her throughout the night, and Music/JenniferHudson did a last minute performance of “I Will Always Love You”.
** The 2020 Grammys contained a similar example- just hours before the ceremony, basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna passed away in a helicopter crash. Although he wasn't a musician, the ceremony was unofficially dedicated to Kobe and Gianna, and many performers and award winners took care to express their condolences or include a last minute tribute to the pair (i.e. Music/LilNasX placing one of Bryant's jerseys in the background of his set).
* ''Series/HomeMovieThePrincessBride'': Creator/CarlReiner, father of the director of [[Film/ThePrincessBride the original film]], is the final actor to play the Grandfather, and passed away three days after recording his scene, the day the series premiered. The series as a whole is dedicated to his memory.
* Elayne Boosler's first two stand-up comedy specials, ''Party of One'' and ''Broadway Baby'', end with dedications to Creator/AndyKaufman, who mentored and collaborated with her in comedy (she had initially tried breaking into showbusiness as a singer) and was even her lover for a time in the early 1970s; he died about a year before ''Party of One'' was shot. In the case of that special, an audio recording of him explaining to her how any performer must keep going out on stage and performing if they want to get anywhere is played as it ends.

** '''NBC daytime version''': Peter Marshall paid tribute to semi-regular panelist Wally Cox, best known as the voice of WesternAnimation/{{Underdog}}, upon his 1973 death; and again in 1974 when Cliff Arquette, who played his Charley Weaver character on the show, passed away after a stroke.
** '''Tom Bergeron version''': Twice, with tributes to sprinter Florence Griffith-Joyner (by Whoopi Goldberg, then producer and center square) during her week of shows early in the run; and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3JZHm9MG-s John Ritter]] (in 2003, by then-producer Creator/HenryWinkler).

Vanna White joined Sajak on the latter.
** After director Mark Corwin died during the summer hiatus, a tribute was edited into a summer rerun.

** Series 6 opener [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E1TheImpossibleAstronaut "The Impossible Astronaut"]] ''opens'', rather than ends, with a dedication card to Sarah Jane Smith actress Creator/ElisabethSladen, who died 4 days before the episode's premiere. Opening the episode with the dedication helps in establishing the episode's darker WhamEpisode tone compared to other season openers. BBC Four also reran her final classic serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E2TheHandOfFear The Hand of Fear]]" in May 2011, a month after her death, with dedications made by the channel's [[ContinuityAnnouncement continuity announcer]]; these dedications can be found on the 2020 Season 14 Blu-Ray box set.

** Though not an "in memory of" card, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong "The Wedding of River Song"]] weaves, in a subtle but unmistakable way, a nod to the memory of Creator/NicholasCourtney into the episode, and even manages to make it a ''plot point'' of sorts. [[spoiler:The Doctor is on a "farewell tour", trying to postpone his rendezvous with his impending death in Utah as much as possible, and so he rings up the nursing home where Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is, hoping to share a drink or two with his old companion. A nurse tells the Doctor that the Brigadier had always spoken highly of him and requested that things be always ready if he ever decided to make a surprise visit to see the Brig — and that he had died a couple of months previous to the Doctor calling. This event is the one that finally spurs the Doctor to stop running and face his fate.]]
** The DVD editions of the classic series serials frequently include DVDBonusContent tribute featurettes to departed figures related to them, such as a 12-minute Creator/AnthonyAinley featurette on [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E5PlanetOfFire "Planet of Fire"]] and a 34-minute tribute to Barry Letts on [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons "The Dæmons"]]. The classic series Blu-Ray season box sets raise the bar with feature-length tribute documentaries to departed figures involved in a given season who didn't receive featurettes during production of the [=DVDs=], including serial director Lennie Mayne on Season 10, Elisabeth Sladen on Season 14 and Creator/JohnNathanTurner on Season 26.
** The first part of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall "Spyfall"]] ended with a tribute to Creator/TerranceDicks. This was all the more poignant due to the fact that minutes before [[spoiler:the audience was introduced to a new incarnation of the Master, a character Dicks had co-created and defined in his time as script editor.]]

* When the dog playing Buck needed to retire, ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' dedicated his last episode to him. Of course, being a Bundy, even sweet doggy death doesn't give him any relief; he's reincarnated as their new dog.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' often pays tribute to deceased cast members, guest hosts and musical guests. In general, when a celebrity who either hosted the show or was the musical guest passes on, that episode will most likely be reran along with any new episode that week, or a photograph of said person will be shown after a sketch. Sometimes, they'll have a photo and a moment of silence (like they did with Creator/CharlesRocket[[note]]though the fact that he was recognized at all, given that he was part of a season that most people despised, counted for something[[/note]] and Creator/DonPardo), but other times, they'll take time off from the laughs to say goodbye and do a memorial piece:
** When Creator/JohnBelushi died in 1982, a rerun of a season seven episode had a monologue from Creator/BrianDoyleMurray, who told the story of how Belushi cared for him when he was just starting out in comedy and saved him from getting hit by a truck (with Belushi taking the hit and '''''not''''' getting injured).
** Creator/GildaRadner had died the same day of the 1988-89 season finale, so instead of his planned monologue, host Creator/SteveMartin replayed a 1978 sketch featuring himself and Radner.
** When Creator/GeorgeCarlin died in June 2008, rather than rerun a 2008 episode hosted by Creator/ElliotPage, the very first episode, which was hosted by Carlin, was aired instead.
** Jan Hooks also received a tribute on October 11, 2014 (the episode hosted by Creator/BillHader and the 39th anniversary of the show's first episode) with a reprise of a skit she performed with the also deceased Creator/PhilHartman ("Love is a Dream," a Tom Schiller-written short film about an elderly woman who visits a bank vault to wear her old jewelry and is transported into a musical where she dances with a prince who turns out to be the bank's elderly security guard).
*** The same short was showed in the 25th anniversary special in 2000, as a tribute after the tragic death of Phil Hartman. Creator/JonLovitz and Jan Hooks presented the skit (visibily grieved), together with the main cast of the Hartman's era (Nora Dunn, Victoria Jackson, Kevin Nealon, Creator/DennisMiller and Creator/MikeMyers; Creator/DanaCarvey wasn't present).
** The 40th anniversary special featured a lengthy tribute, presented by Creator/BillMurray with Leon Pendarvis at the piano, to all the deceased ''SNL'' cast and crew members in the show's history (from cast members like Creator/GildaRadner, Creator/JohnBelushi, Creator/PhilHartman, and Jan Hooks, to behind-the-scenes people like Tom Davis, Michael O'Donoghue[[note]]even though Davis and O'Donoghue are considered members of the original cast, just not ones most people would readily remember[[/note]], Dave Wilson, Bernie Brillstein, and Don Pardo). But to keep things from being too depressing, the final tribute was to cast member Jon Lovitz. The cameras then cut to a very alive and confused Lovitz sitting in the audience. A similar gag occurred during Steve Martin's opening monologue. At the end of the segment, Bill Murray give the audience one last death notice that came later to included it properly on the tribute.
---> '''Bill Murray:''' (in a respectful and solemn manner) [[BaitAndSwitch This just came in from Spain]]. [[RunningGag Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead]].
** When Music/DavidBowie died during Season 41, Fred Armisen returned to the show for a special tribute segment to the singer, in which Armisen recalled watching Bowie's musical performance in Season 5 in high school. A clip of Bowie singing "The Man Who Sold the World" during that appearance shown immediately afterwards.
** Music/{{Prince}} died later in Season 41, and instead of a segment during the show like Bowie got, ''SNL'' produced an entire hour-long memorial special featuring his various appearances over the years (and some clips from the recurring sketch, "The Prince Show", which had Fred Armisen as Prince).
** At the end of Creator/AdamSandler's hosting gig in Season 44, he performed his song "[[Recap/AdamSandlerS5E52Farley Farley]]" from his ''100% Fresh'' special in tribute to Creator/ChrisFarley.
** In season 45, in the At Home episode, the final segment is a giant eulogy for music director Hal Willner, with appearances from Mulaney, Sandler, Creator/TinaFey, Creator/AmyPoehler, Shannon, Rudolph, Armisen and Hader, among other alums.
** At the end of a February 2003 show, Horatio Sanz came out in a sweater, sang "You're Special", and said "Thank you, [[Creator/FredRogers Mr. Rogers]]", as a trolley passed him by.
