after death
When breathing stops
After death describes what happens, exists, or is done following someone's dying: after death, the body begins to cool, his reputation grew after death.
The phrase often appears in legal and medical contexts: after death, the estate passes to heirs.
It's more clinical than "posthumously" and less poetic than "beyond the grave."
