Well, you are technically correct in saying that there is no such thing as being illegally dead, although in some states, committing suicide is illegal. I know, how can the dead person be charged with a crime against themselves. Who knows....

A person has to be declared "legally dead" for many reasons. You have to declare somebody as dead so that nobody can vote, or collect social security benefits in their name.

Are canonization and beautification the same thing?

No, they are different. The stage of beatification is the penultimate step in the canonization process.

The final stage included more investigations and another proven miracle before the candidate is canonized - declared to be a saint.
