* In ''Literature/WarriorCats'', cats that live in Clans (feral colonies) join [=StarClan=] after they die if they lived a honorable life. If they didn't follow the warrior code, then they end up in the Dark Forest. Spirits stay in [=StarClan=] until they become completely forgotten by all other cats (dead or alive). Once they're forgotten, they fade. What happens when they fade [[ShrugOfGod is uncertain]]. The authors have suggested at different points that they may turn into stars and live peacefully by themselves from thereon, become part of a second [=StarClan=], or stop existing period.



* In the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'', this is particularly a plot point in ''Bound in Blood''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': The afterlife for people who have died is based on how well someone is remembered and by how many people. For the living, the dead have ImmortalityThroughMemory. Once the last living person who remembered someone dies or forgets, the deceased experiences a "second death" in the real world which also kills them in the afterlife.

The tree, which was the "body" of their friend who was killed by a drunk driver in 1959, was uprooted in January 2023, breaking the promise of the previous mayor to keep it in remembrance.]]
