Well, when dragons are usually slain, they fall dormant and can be resurrected, so as long as the Dragonborn's skeleton remains intact after death and he/she hasn't been soul trapped (if possible, given that dragons can't be magically soul trapped), then the Dragonborn could be resurrected as well through the same ritual-like methods Alduin practises at dragon burial mounds.
