Death is the opposite of life. The body is no longer sustained by the breath of life. All bodily functions cease. The Bible tells us what happens at death.
Ecclesiastes 9:5,10: " For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything--Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol,(grave) whither thou goest."
Death is likened to sleeping also (John 11:11-14)

Looks like a few have been doing some reading. Carlos Castaneda, or Carl Sagan maybe....
Death is whatever you believe it to be. For some, it is a 'final ending", never to exist again. Others believe that it is a one time shot on earth, then on to a life in heaven or hell. Even others go a bit farther and believe that you get as many incarnations as necessary to attain the highest level of intelligence, coming back time and time again in a variety of bodies and lives until all lessons are learned.
We can even explore reincarnation which is not the same as the above. That tends to be specific with memory attached. However, to repeat incarnations for advancement, no memory is sustained. For example, you die, and come back as a family member knowing you have been the long dead sister, or brother..
Or even those that thing you die and choose to come back as a tiger or dog, or whatever.
So, what is death? It is whatever you want it to be while your alive. After your dead, so far no one has really been able to come back and let the living know.
Yes, I believe in spirits and ghosts, that is not what I am talking about.
I am referring to a person, coming back from the dead, and telling the world of what it is like to be dead. I think that is reserved for one; Jesus...

Nope. Our souls are too strong for that. We are people with heart and emotions. I believe that when we die our souls get released out of this world and into a completely different one. It doesn't matter your religion, I believe that a soul lives on.

It's the permanent and final end of consciousness and all other signs of life. From the moment you lose that last thought of consciouseness at death, that's all there is. You no longer exist.

We are non existent at death and we do not have a soul that leaves our body, the body is the soul. The Bible says; the soul that is sinning, it itself will die.

death is the end of our physical form and begining of another. technically we never die. we just transfer from one stage to another, from one form to another. physical bodies die and decompose but not our souls. our souls are eternal.
