disincarnation
Spirit exits body
Disincarnation is the departure of a soul or spirit from a physical body—the opposite of incarnation.
The term appears in religious and philosophical contexts discussing what happens at death: Disincarnation is not the end but a transition to another plane of existence.
Some spiritualist traditions treat it as a neutral description of dying, stripped of the finality that "death" implies.
