Perhaps we should wait to bury our dead for a few days just to be sure. We'll take turns being by their side, in case they "wake".

Or perhaps, hear me out here, we could dedicate an entire field of science to understanding human biology, and train many people in this subject as professionals. They will be qualified to, among other things, examine a patient and determine objectively that they are deceased with no chance of revival. They can then verbally communicate this fact, or in other words, "pronounce" that the patient is dead.

idk I'm just spitballing here.

To this day people are pronounced dead and waking up.
