Theological or Religious Symbolic Immortality - belief in life after death is seen in most religions and spiritual practices. Creative Symbolic Immortality - art, literature, discovery in science, a humble benevolent, kind act for someone in need. Symbolic Immortality of Nature - we participate in eternity through our appreciation and understanding of the persistent life and death cycles of nature.

The spirit and philosophy will live on with collection of family pictures, scrapbooks, stories, articles, documents and photographs, and audiotapes, CDs or DVDs, a powerful coping tool when dealing with age, illness or a life crisis. Future generations can identify their roots and include any medical history, and a genetic reconstruction of heredity.
