Create a field to mark people as deceased

[ChurchCRMBugReport]

When people that are on the database die, there is no easy way to remove them from the roll of members or other type without deleting the person. Ideally, ChurchCRM should keep the person for historical and financial records, while filtering out deceased people from counts, reports, groups, mailing lists, etc. Additional fields for date of death or funeral information might also be useful. People can be flagged as deceased by assigning "deceased" property to them, but they are not excluded form counts etc.

I support this addition. Care should be taken as to how the departed are filtered from specific views (i.e. will they be shown in the all members list? How about in a family view? Should the row be "greyed out"?)

Could the proposed filtering be extended to include the Admin user? It is kind of annoying that this pseudo user shows up in the dashboards. It is nice to have an "internal" super user because there may be a time in the future where an external authentication method is used.

@rakess70 please file a new issue for admin... as we will have to ensure people did not reuse the Person 1 for admin or the admin should be a user without a person... unclear which way to go

[rakess70]

this one is a new one to me. @DawoudIO I am not sure what you mean. I think you meant to include @rbeerster not me :)

[rbeerster]

@DawoudIO I will write up a new issue to request filtering (or hiding) the admin user from the various views.
