Death

"Today is a good day to die." - Worf (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

Death marks the ending of a linear existance. It is at the opposite end of the spectrum from birth for temporally contained lifeforms. Many cultures address this process in spiritual terms.

In Starfleet custom, the dead are sometimes launched into space in an empty torpedo casing for burial as a sign of respect for their service to the Federation. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, VOY: "Ashes to Ashes")

Captain Jean-Luc Picard once used death and his own mortality as a way to show Nuria and her people that he was no different than she was, and certainly not a god they named "the Picard". (TNG: "Who Watches the Watchers?")
