Deceased should have the following outcomes (iirc):

  • Contact Record shows (deceased) in red after their name
  • CONTACT IS DECEASED shows in demographic fields
  • contact is excluded from mailings and PDF prints
  • contact is excluded from emails
  • contact is excluded from exports unless overwritten
  • the status of memberships will be changed to "deceased"

    I really think this information should be included in the CiviCRM documentation somewhere as I found this information really hard to find.
