"For death remember'd, should be like a mirror, Who tells us, life's but breath) to trust it, error."

Ugh, I hated figuring out Shakespeare in junior high. Still don't like it now. I'm probably off target but this is what I get from the quote:

Death comes to all, when you see death, you are looking in the mirror because death will come to you at some point also. Remember it for it can come when you think that only life is to be. To trust that you can live long is an error for life could end tomorrow.

I find it to mean that when we die, we will look back on Death and remember it like a mirror (looking back on death, as opposed to us now looking forward to it) - that we continue to exist in the Afterlife and think the only difference is that life is but breath... but that is not true, for life is much more than only breath. For in Death we are not breathing but we are still Alive. Death is simply not the end of Life...
