I always presume that it provides evidence that their life mattered - even though they won't know, someone will say that they mattered.
If you spend all of your life devoted to something it needs to have mattered otherwise it is a waste of time (in theory).
Often they don't have children so they are passing on something other than genetics.
That's what I always took away from it anyway.
