lol, people do try and downplay it, but I think it means as it says, Nothing should stand in the way of following Jesus, even if it's people very important to you. The dead would probably mean spiritually dead (those who reject Christ).

I think when it refers to the "dead", its talking about the condemned people.

The man wanted to wait until his family died. Jesus wanted him to go at that time.
