Statistics regarding life expectancy tell people — We All Die Someday, and people say we will all be treated equally by and in it. It doesn't matter if you're a master or a slave, a sinner or a saint, man or woman, a bishop or knave, white or black — or how the deceased are treated by others around — you might still say everyone is all treated the same. Hence death is often called "The Great Leveler", for all and their distinctions be leveled. Either the funerals or the afterlife (if any) must be the same for everyone, whichever is used last in the work. It's an old theme in medieval art with the Danse Macabre, which told the living that death comes to all and that all earthly glories are bound to vanish, but it can also take other expressions. Note that this goes one step further than that everyone, in at least a given setting, is going to die — everyone must be treated the same as well. Even a statement that everybody is judged the same way implies a weakening of this trope. If everyone has the same funeral, but then go to different afterlives, then the trope is subverted. Put another way, this is An Aesop that all differences among people are erased upon death. This is also one reason Balancing Death's Books is a viable option when Death comes to collect a soul: If everyone's equal, then there's no problem subbing one person for another. See also Cessation of Existence, No Animosity in the Afterlife, and Only One Afterlife. Part of the reason why Death Means Humanity. Not to be confused with Together in Death. Contrast Species-Specific Afterlife for one situation where different types of people are treated quite differently after death. Contrast also Immortality and, in particular, Immortality Seeker. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

Part of the really dark alternate ending of Heathers, that was changed after Executive Meddling. After Veronica kills J.D., stopping him from blowing up everyone in the school, she ignites the bombs herself. All the kids, no matter their clique, appearance, or background, are then shown interacting peacefully in heaven. The trope is lampshaded in the film, when J.D. says: | |

In Death Parade it's very much averted with the deceased that are sent to the arbiters and play games that determine their fate; there's often a fairly large imbalance between players' skills and experience in the games they're made to play, giving a clear indication of who's meant to win. As Decim says, "Life is unfair." Of course, this is all deliberately done to put the players through a high-stress scenario, to see how they react under the pressure. Considering that there's no rules against assault, it means that a pro can lose by virtue of being unconscious after a beating. | |

In Odds Against Tomorrow, the last two criminals shoot it out after a botched robbery. One is Black (Harry Belafonte) and the other is a White bigot (Robert Ryan). They wind up setting off gasoline and both are fried. When one policeman asks which is which, another shrugs. They'll never know and it doesn't matter now. Incidentally this a big "message", because in the book the White bigot could have gotten away but went back to rescue the Black criminal (and both are killed). | |

In the fairy tale "Godfather Death", a poor man looks for a godfather for his newborn; having rejected God's offer because God favors the rich and neglects the poor, he happily accepts Death as a godfather, because Death "makes everyone equal" and "takes rich and poor alike, without distinction". While originally played straight, the later edition adds a line that this reflects the man's ignorance more than anything, since traditionally the poor get the last laugh in Heaven. | |

In the World of the Five Gods series by Lois McMaster Bujold, every soul is picked up by one of the gods at their death, regardless of status or faith, and which god is shown in a miracle at their funeral. Then explored in the third book, The Hallowed Hunt, where certain souls are shown to be impossible for the gods to pick up, and the trouble is about how to make them pickable again. | |

Invoked by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War when he explains to Doctor Strange the rationale behind his plan to kill half the universe's population. The process would have been completely random and indiscriminate, free of bias towards race, gender, rich or poor, weak or powerful, and therefore in Thanos's mind, fair. When he succeeds, those who die at the end are crumbling into dust in the same way. It's not completely fair, though, as Thanos agreed to spare Stark in exchange for the Time Stone. | |

In Pathfinder, once a person dies their mind and soul become a being called a petitioner. While there might be some differences in their appearance or certain abilities depending on where they end up going in the afterlife, all petitioners are only a Combat Rating 1. Skill with weapons, languages, magic, it's all left behind, making the strongest centuries-old archmage exactly as powerful as a child after they're both dead. | |

Blackadder Goes Forth: This trope is why Blackadder uncharacteristically treats Darling with kindness and respect instead of his usual taunts and mockery right before the big push that will kill them: at that moment he doesn't see his Sitcom Archnemesis who's been antagonizing him all series, he sees a fellow soldier about to die for a pointless war on the orders of a mad Armchair Military general. | |

A central plot point in Monster. Johan Liebert's goal is to show Tenma this. He also believes that when he dies he'll be redeemed. The reason why he is the monster makes it because he refuses redemption in life due to this belief. | |

Death from The Sandman (1989) is a rather benevolent version of this trope, she never misses the opportunity to say that everybody dies at the end, but for the same reason and since she knows everything about everyone, she never hates anyone, they are all the same to her but because she knows them all. | |

In History of the World Part I, a court official whispers over and over, "Remember, thou art mortal!" at Marcus, after having won a great victory.note See Real Life below. Marcus exasperatedly just retorts, "Oh, blow it out your ass!" | |

The epilogue of Barry Lyndon reads "It was in the reign of George III that the aforesaid personages lived and quarrelled: good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now". See also the original novel. | |

Death in Purgatony might be a Bad Boss and an asshole, but when Tony calls him unfair he replies that he's the fairest of all. Since no matter who you are or what you've done with your life, everybody is guaranteed exactly one death....except those stupid immortal jellyfish | |

Fire Emblem Heroes: A Day in the Life: In "The Strongest Refutation", Sonia believes there are two types of people: those who lead, and those who serve. She is refuted by Hel, who believes all mortals are the same as they are all powerless before death. | |

The Dark Profit Saga: The god of Death, Mordo Ogg, gives nobody special treatment, not even his few clerics. Which is why he doesn't have many followers, much less priests. Detarr Ur'Mayan's Head of Marketing pitches the phrase as a recruiting slogan for the undead horde, but the focus group points out that undead are not created equal. The horde has a de facto caste system with basic skeletons and zombies at the bottom, ghouls, wraiths, and vampires above them, and Detarr the liche on top. That also gets them thinking about what type of undead Tyren, Detarr's right-hand skeleton, really is, particularly whether he might have risen as a revenant for attempting to desert. |
