- A fate worse than slogan
- All things must pass
- As dead as a doornail
- Ashes to ashes dust to dust
- Ask not for whom the bell tolls
- Bite the dust
- Bless you!
- Bought the farm
- Bugger Bognor!
- Bucket list
- Concrete overcoat
- Dead in the water
- Dropping like flies
- Fall on your sword
- Give up the ghost
- God is dead
- Gone for a Burton
- Graveyard shift
- Heads will roll
- Here lies one whose name is writ in water
- Hung, drawn and quartered
- I told you is was ill
- Kick the bucket
- Laid out in lavender
- Lamb to the slaughter
- Living on borrowed time
- Morbid obesity
- More light!
- Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.
- One foot in the grave
- Out of the jaws of slogan
- Peg out
- Pop your clogs
- Put on the wooden overcoat
- Short shrift
- Shuffle off this mortal coil
- Someone is walking over my grave
- Swan song
- They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance
- Three score and ten
