deathless

Beyond the grave

Deathless means immortal or undying—not subject to death.

The word appears most often in literary contexts describing fame or achievements that will endure: deathless prose, deathless glory.

It can be used ironically for work that falls short of such permanence: his deathless contributions to the company newsletter.
