Tim Leary said that the inly way he believed in reincarnation was that when people make an imprint in us, when their lives and ideas affect us, those people live on in us. I consider this on par with your view of their joining the unbound.
On a trip, the Universe (my name for it, call it what you like) told me that when you get right down to it, there is Something and Nothing. In Nothing, there is no time, space, matter, etc... and that for things to happen, for the purpose of the Universe's awakening, self-consciousness, whathaveyou, things in the Nothing have to come over to the Something to experience and learn and when it's learned or done what it has to do, it comes back to the Nothing to share what it gathered over here.
So when these men died, what they learned, what their souls/sparks/daemons/angels learned/did/collected are added to the Collective a.k.a. the Nothing.
Of course, ego-transcending things like psychedelics/meditation/etc allow transmission of what we've learned to the Nothing while still alive.
Off topic, I know, but it crossed my mind.
I've recently come to realize how stunted I am, since my biological father, while around (barely) never did what a father is supposed to do, and my mother was absent as well, so in some ways I never dealt with any of this have had to learn it all on my own, and thus I am behind on my work, and on the other hand, I suppose I never had the damage to undo, the projection to break. I guess I've always projected onto archetypes because I've never had the real people to attach to.

If that makes sense.
