Have a dedicated featureset to categorize/label deceased contacts

As Dex gets older, so do we. A few times now, when sorting through contacts, I have run into the reality that some of them have passed away.

Eventually, we all will.

It would be nice to have a dedicated featureset specifically for this, such as when we mark them as deceased, the following things happen (not necessarily in order, but in some kind of way)

  1. There is a label or badge, perhaps with a color to it, that indicates that a person has passed away.

  2. The contact should not appear in the primary contact list, but perhaps should also not be archived.

  3. It would be nice if specific, new default fields came up for this to save information, i.e. when the person passed away, a link to their obituary for remembrance, etc.

  4. It would be great to still be able to link to this contact (i.e. so that I can link their surviving spouse to them and vice versa)

  5. A group of "deceased" could be also default created.

I know this all sounds a bit morbid and I'm sure that there could be a much better way to go about this, but "archiving" someone when they pass away isn't too nice and also isn't necessarily something I'd want to do.
