Is dirt nap referencing the loss of consciousness and decomposition of death? Never heard the term before.

You've never heard the term 'dirt nap?' You must not be from the US.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

I think the most poignant euphemism for death is 'got away'.  It's only religious in a very tangential sense and became common during the periods of starvation and oppression in Ireland.  The best sense of the term is that the deceased had finally escaped from a life of misery and want.

Perhaps it's a regional/generational term; the chances of encountering death increases with age, and therefore encountering death-related euphemisms. I'll probably hear it more often the older I get.

No, not really. If you live in America and have watched movies/television on a semi-regular basis in the past... oh IDK, 5 to 100 years, you've probably heard the term.

Maybe you don't watch many movies or very much television?

Okay. Makes sense now.
