Surnames

It's me again, with the names. I'm curious if anyone knows anything about surnames. I'm looking for a surname that has connations of death, or something ending, losing something or anything along those lines. It doesn't matter about which language it is (but it'd be nice if you can state which one) and if you can think of absolutely anything relative, it'll be very appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to say. I don't mind if it's in say, Japanese or any such language that this system would apply to and the kanji (or whatever) has a double meaning-- even if the surname doesn't use the reading that's related to the topic at hand. If this makes sense.
