The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Sayid puts his hands on Jack's shoulders just after the funeral, the position of his hand and how his fingers are positioned changes between shots. (00:10:30)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Charlie, Sawyer and Kate restrain Jack at the funeral, and Kate has her hands on his chest. Camera cuts, and she's now a few steps away from Jack. (00:09:30)
Chosen answer: None of the main characters died in the plane crash. Many died on the island after the crash (Jack, Charlie, Sun, Jin, Daniel, Juliet, others), some lived on the island for an apparently long time after the crash (Hurley, Ben, Bernard, Rose) but some lived lives off the island after the crash (Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Miles, Aplert, and Lapidus). Remember that Christian tells Jack that "time has no meaning here," (in Purgatory). When everyone meets at the church, they are at the end of their lives however long that may have been and will now "move on" together. They look like they did on the island because that is the way they best remember each other.

That has to be the clearest explanation of the ending I've ever read.
