Esbee lists some euphemisms for "died" that were used in today’s obituaries in the Winston-Salem Journal.

Don’t bother. The will isn’t usually filed until after the funeral. You’ll want to stick it in your Living Will, right next to your DNR.
I once saw one that said so-and-so went out to the field for the last time, which doesn’t mention God. I’ve seen baseball metaphors, NASCAR metaphors, you name it. I live for obituary euphemism. It’s a fine art, as far as I’m concerned.
