Indeed. But that begs the question, is a "reward" necessarily a good thing
that, in the words of the immortal bard, is "a consummation devoutly to be
wished"? Not, I venture to suggest, when the reward, such as it is, is to be
an infernal one." ;)

Isn't this "passed" a shortening of "passed on to his / her eternal reward"?
