Deceased, departed, dead - all these words are synonyms for "decedent". These words are commonly used in the context of someone who has passed away. "Deceased" is perhaps the most common synonym, often used in obituaries and death notices. "Departed", on the other hand, suggests a sense of departure, or moving on from this world.
