People use it both ways. I use it more like you but the other way of still counting up is also very common. Almost everyone agrees the day is still their birthday in a sense, it's just whether people say "their 100th birthday" or just "their birthday" after they have died

I like the "happy xxth birthday in heaven" method too.
