I'm sorry to here that.
There are many religions and they have there own thought as to one who dies and where they will be.
The bible teaches us if you are a Christian, that when you die you return to the dust from out of it our original parents(Adam and Eve) were created from the dust of the ground.
Our creator can remember our life pattern while we were alive. He has your cousin in his memory...she will suffer no more like all of us today living in this worlds mess.
She will be resurrected to life later, soon to have another chance to live on earth...hopefully you will be their to greet her and all your other friends and relatives too.
Some others believe the dead either go to heaven or so called hell fire which ever you were judged to go.
Furthermore, others say when you die your spirit will become another life form. Nobody knows its just a belief.
Karma.
So if you are a Christian be happy that you will see her again...on earth.

If she was 18, she was definately at the age where she could make her own decision about God and Jesus. Was she Christian? Or were her parents Christian? Many times, the Bible says the grace of the parents is attributed to their children. If her parents were Christians, then maybe she's in heaven. If she was Christian, she's definately in heaven. If not, I'm sorry I have no good news for you. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Life is short and so unfair sometimes. I hope that you and your family will turn to God and receive Jesus as a result of this tragedy. God's peace be with you and yours.

They usually go in the ground. Sometimes they get stuffed in to a crematorium, which is like a big oven....so I suppose they eventually go up the chimney....
The simple fact is: reality kills indiscriminately. It rains on the righteous and the wicked alike; and those who claim to know what happens next or that there's some greater design to it all are selling you a bill of goods....

Where is she now? unfortunately nobody can answer that question but God himself. The bible says that it is appointed for man to die once, and then after this the judgement. We are all going to die and we are all going to be judged.
How is God going to judge us? He is going to judge us by the ten commandments? Have you kept the ten commandments? Let's see. Have you ever told a lie? stolen something (even something very small), used God's name in vain (to express disgust)? or looked at a man or woman with lust? With just four of the ten commandments we see that all of mankind has broken these, right? That is why the bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin is the breaking of God's laws.
Now the bible says that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Becuase with sin there comes death but life is in the blood. I can't die for your sins and you can't die for mine because we have our own sins to account for. So we have to have a perfect sacrifice on our part. Nobody is perfect but God. So God came down as a man and lived a perfect human life, condemning sin in the flesh and defeating the power that satan has over us. Was crucified, dead and buried. And raised on the third day. Taking our punishment for breaking God's laws. Our punishment of death and an eternal separation of God in hell. He paid our fine and all we have to do is accept his payment ask him into our life and we can have assurance we will go to heaven.
Now as for your recent lost loved one, only God knows. I know it hurts with all this death around us. As the scripture says that tomorrow is promised to nobody. How true is that? All the more you should give your life to Jesus Christ who bought you with the price of his blood. Ask him into your life, I beg you, you will not regret it.

This is a decision we all have to make for ourselves. The death of someone close to us is usually the event that starts us toward making the decision we choose.

all i can ask is that was she a christian - did she ask jesus into her life and heart and did she hear the Gospel? if she did this and had jesus in her life then she will go to heaven
heaven if jesus was her lord and savior/if she did not hear the Gospel
hell if jesus was not her lord and savior

probably in a better place, but that DOESN'T mean that you don't have a right to grant yourself the privilidge of grieving

(I say heaven) but I guess you will really find out when you die.
