from GODS WORD;Ec 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Joh 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death:
1co 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

We go to a place called Paradise if we have lived a good clean life. If we haven't lived the way we should we will go to hell and spend until the judgment there. After the judgment day we will go to the degree of heaven we have been worthy of or be cast off completely.

I don't honestly know for sure but it really doesn't matter because we all are going to die and the only thing we know as fact is that death occurs.Anything past that is hope and faith in something more.Personally I have hope and faith that when we die we will become a greater form of life that has left our psychical body and moved to a higher plain of existence and with a new understanding and greater understanding of everything.

Hades, in Paradise if you were saved, hell if you weren't (think of it as Hades being an "waiting" building, with two rooms, one hell and the other paradise) . Then, after the Lord's second coming, you go to Heaven if you were saved, or to the lake of fire if you weren't. It is a typical mistake from main stream Christianity to think that when you die you go to heaven...

Atheists: No where
Agnostics: No idea (really, they don't know, they believe there might be a god/gods, might not be)
Christians/Muslims/(some)Jews: Hell/Hell like place for bad people or Heaven/Paradise for good people
Hindus: Reincarnation I think (higher castes for good people, lower castes for bad people {like you could be born as royalty if you're good, or as a dog if you're bad})
Greeks: Hades (the underworld)
Romans: Pluto (the underworld also)
Egyptians: Afterlife (I think good people get to take part, bad people just don't, no eternal torture)
Norse: Niflheim or Hel for the bad, Vallhala for the good. However, all of the "souls" are destroyed eventually during the Ragnarok (Norse end of times)
Many eastern religions: Reincarnation (see hindus)
Hope I helped.

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH
Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.
The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.
Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!
Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.
The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.
Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

I believe that we are in a "sleeping," peaceful kind of state until Jesus' second coming. I feel this to be true for Christians, at least, but I do not know what happens now to nonbelievers. When "Judgment Day" comes, or rather, when Jesus comes again and eventually all will be judged, if you have the blood of Jesus on you, figuratively, (accepted Jesus' gift of salvation and truly believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins as the living Son of God), then God will see you through that blood as sinless and you will go to heaven. If you do not have Jesus' blood on you, or, if you are not saved, then God will see your sin and judge you according to your deeds, and you will be sent to hell, or "the Lake of Fire." Well, technically the Bible says ALL will be judged according to their deeds, but I think the definitive thing in weighing the good and the bad will come down to having the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ or not having it.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
So, works are important and they do matter, but that is not what is definitive for anyone to get IN to heaven-only by grace through faith alone.
John's vision according to revelation:
The Great White Throne Judgment
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[c] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.[d] 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

First.....The spirit goes back to God (life force)
The body (asleep in death) goes into an earthly grave waiting for the call to resurrection.
When the resurrection call comes, we are rematerialized and rise as we died. Gradually becoming whole and well again.
Yes there is more..........

If you are a believer you go to heaven, if you are not, you go to Hades, then both the believer and unbeliever will be judged on Judgement day. Then the believers will go to a new heaven and new earth, the unbelievers will go to the lake of fire (hell)
