Requiring 'earthly remains' conflates the cessation of a particular individual with the destruction of matter, a category error Locke's distinction between person and substance already exposes.

Category error(as used in logic and philosophy of language): A logical mistake where you apply a rule or concept to something it doesn't actually fit, like using a math formula on a poem.
Cessation(contrasted with ongoing consequences): The moment when something stops happening or comes to an end.
Destruction of matter(as a separate concept from personal death): The idea that physical stuff (atoms, molecules, your body) is completely annihilated or ceases to exist. In reality, matter usually just changes form rather than disappearing entirely.
John Locke(as a later developer of abstraction theory): An English philosopher (1632-1704) who argued that the human mind starts as a blank slate and learns everything through experience and sensory observation rather than being born with built-in knowledge.
