The answer is no.
Life as you know it does not continue. However is there another reality after death, who knows; but the life as you know it today will not be remembered, your memories are gone because the vessel (your brain, your biological computer) can't go with you; the hard drive is erased, the memory is gone.
Perhaps the process of our atoms achieving sentience is pre-ordained; we could return to the state from which we came, where we didn't need these vessels to experience universe's space and time.
We could be sub-routines for a greater program... ;) So if you can prove that there is a way to upload your memories or the essence of your being before dying, then your memories and potentially the ability to perceive what happens after you die may be intact somewhere.
Remember, without your life experiences to which to compare your new afterlife experience, there is no frame of reference.
Think about a new born, most of us can't remember crap before 2 years of age, it's because we had not learned how to remember because we didn't know the name of things, how they looked, etc.; we simply didn't know how to build a directory yet for retrieval.
I know many of you don't want to hear that, so enjoy the life you have now, it's a short one.

I believe that a person has a karma which is predestination of what he/she is to accomplish. I also believe that if this purpose is fulfilled, then the person will go on to his/her heavenly reward. Otherwise, if a person's life on the Earth plane was conducted in a positive way, then he won't have to be reincarnated. I do believe that there are more steps toward one's place in heaven. This is done post life in other dimensions until one's work has been completed. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

This is a question that is going to get lots of different answers, depending on people's personal beliefs. I believe what the bible tells me, that the body dies but the soul lives forever. I believe that if we are Christians, we will go to Heaven for all eternity!

The question is absurd: If an individual is dead, he/she is NOT alive--by definition. " Men feare death as children feare to go in the dark" (Sir Francis (not Kevin) Bacon) Therefore it is not surprising that most major religions offer eternal life to believers. Also, check out what Shakespeare said of what happens after death at: http://www.artofeurope.com/shakespeare/sha8.htm ... On a more optimistic note: I HOPE there is conciousness in some form after death... but what would conciousness be like without memory?.

Yes, the individual's memory continues to live on in everyone that they knew/

Well, you are going to have a million different views on this. Why do you think there are so many religions? It all depends on who you ask. I personally believe that when a person dies - only their body dies. Your soul lives for ever.

It depends upon your belief. Mine states that it does, as God promised on the Covenant. We would reach the afterlife, and based on what we have done on Earth, we would either be in heaven or somewhere else.
This thing has not actually been proven, because it seems impossible to prove without dying first, right? haha. keep it up and do well. good luck.

Read the book "The Bridge over San Luis Rey" to understand this statement: "The individual lives as long as he/she is remembered".

if you are religious and catholic, then read your bible and you will find your answers there..... if you are not religious then fathom your own beliefs in what ever it is that you believe in.. being a catholic you would know that your body dies however your spirit lives and the two may be joined together on judgement day.

No. You will always remember that person in some special way, but the Bible says that the soul itself that is sinning will die.
