* ''[[Defending Your Life]]'' has an afterlife of prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, and a huge legal tangle.

* ''[[A Matter of Life and Death]]'', known in the U.S. as ''Stairway to Heaven''.

* Hades' realm in the [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney version]] of ''[[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]]'' approaches this: though the place where the afterlife go is a chaotic swirling pool of ghosts and goo, when the dead enter Hades, a little sign clicks in: "1000001 served."

* The 1941 film ''Here Comes Mr. Jordan'', which features bungled soul reaping by an officious (psychopompous?) angel known only as 7013, as part of a rather airline-esque afterlife.

* ''Wristcutters: A love Story''

* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''. This being a ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]''-based world, [[Death Is Cheap]] for adventurers (they get raised pretty regularly), so there are "fast track" procedures for repeat customers.

* The original pitch of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' stated the reason why Jimmy was in Miseryville in the first place was because an administrative error got him sent there. Whether or not this is still the case is currently unknown.

* In ''[[Eek ~~the~~ Cat]]'', cats have life cards to show how many lives they have left. Eek was once tricked into taking the file of a bad cat and got sent to hell. Once the mistake got fixed, he regained all his lives.

* In ''[[Eek! The Cat]]'', cats have life cards to show how many lives they have left. Eek was once tricked into taking the file of a bad cat and got sent to hell. Once the mistake got fixed, he regained all his lives.

* There's a bit of this in ''[[Garfield His 9 Lives]]''. After losing his ninth, last life (in the future; modern-day Garfield is life eight), Garfield and Odie come before God, and Garfield successfully argues that his last death was unfair. God then asks which life he was on.
