Within the context of the play, the death of the two principal characters is all-important since the action or plot of the play is at an end once this has happened. There only remains the need to have a dramatic epilogue (here the explanation by the friar and the reconciliation of the feuding families)

Outside of the play, their deaths are unimportant; they are fictional characters.
