In the book Dracula, it would seem that decapitation should accompany staking, in order to utterly destroy a vampire. Here is Dracula's end, when Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris manage to jump on the wagon carrying the box that Dracula is lying in. The sun is about to set, and they just make it in time:

"..But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan's great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat; whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris' bowie knife plunged in the heart.

It was like a miracle; but before our very eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight."
