Consciousness is not a cognitive process of a living brain, it is a function of the mind. Nothing happens to your mind when you die.
I think that you and many of those answering may be confusing mind with brain. Your brain is an amazing organ it controls our muscles, respiration, pulmonary function and a host of other lesser known functions, but it does not think.
Thought is a function of mind that exists independent of anything physical. What appears to be the brain thinking in brain function imaging and other brain measuring attempts is only blood flow being measured to the part of the brain that acts as an interface between the mind and the body. This is the secondary function of the brain after regulating bodily functions. It acts as the interface, or the mind body connection.
Without it there would be no way for the nonphysical mind to exert any control over the physical body.
It is interesting that science has done its best to overlook this fact for so long. The silly idea that thought is some magical function of some mysterious electrochemical reaction is so vague as to be hilarious. There are several ways to disprove this theory beyond any shadow of a doubt.
Being nonphysical in source your mind is in no way effected by the death of the body and loss of the mind body interface, or brain.
Love and blessings.

Who says that consciousness has to be a process of JUST the brain?

You won't.
No heaven - just death.
Heaven is for people that are alive and wish their lives were larger than they are so they make up an eternal life where everything is perfect and they can shmoose with the stars (the holy ones that is)
Hell is to scare you into believing.
Earth is for the humans.

You can't really know anything when you're "dead" - that's why we won't be "dead" in heaven. Do the words "eternal life" mean anything to you? Sorry - I didn't mean to sound condescending, but that's the whole principle of heaven. You are able to enjoy eternal life with God.

I have a pretty good idea I'll know when I'm in heaven. How I will know that, I'll leave to God. I don't understand how He raised Jesus from the dead either.....but He did.

You will know you are in heaven when you experience an over whelming love / piety for God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. You will not hunger nor thirst and will reciprocate all the love God has bestowed upon you. And accept all of his gifts.

You present physical body will be dead, but you'll be given a new spiritual body.

the idea is that humans are three part beings...
an earth suit
a spirit (suit)
a soul = mind, emotions, will
The idea is that humans are souls with two suits. One spirit and one earth.
Um. Hope that helps.
