You should be able to create a list of deceased individuals in the web-based view. Currently you can only run a query in the database view for deceased individuals. The webview should include a Deceased Date so that lists can be generated for those constituents that are deceased. This is important for condolence cards, planned giving stewardship/follow-up and to streamline the functionalities between the database view and web view. Deceased constituents could have their own field or column to reflect their status.
