Memberships may include spouse or other household members. When the primary member is marked deceased, it causes downstream issues with Membership Renewal Efforts since they only consider the deceased state of the primary member during exclusion calculations. This results in lost opportunities for renewals since the surviving members are not included in the effort.

Having the option presented at the time of marking the record deceased to transfer the primary membership status to surviving household members will assist users with data hygiene and reduce the chance of records existing in this state.
