Death is certain, before life as well as after a life is terminated by whatever means causes it to non-exist! Capiece?

Please consider the following example.
1. Death does not exist.
Death is a relative word that means change. We always go from one dimension of existence into a higher form of existence. Or in a symbolic language from one world to a higher world. At each transition we have to change - die, in the ordinary language.
People who cease to have a physical existence continue to live but in a higher dimension, unknown to us for a very good reason.
This may sound too esoteric but it is simple and an example will clarify it.
When we were in the womb of our mother we were in another world. We were living in a physiological world. It was completely different from this physical world.
When we abandoned the womb world (died to the womb world) and were born into the physical world, we didn't "go" to any other place. We stayed in the same place. We came into a new and higher dimension of existence, the physical world.
Similarly when we abandon the physical world we continue our existence in a more evolved or higher dimension that is not physical but spiritual.
So the next world is not a "place" where we will be going to. It is here. But in another dimension unknown to us, just as the physical world was unknown to the fetus.
Death does not exist even in the physical sense because all the atoms of our body continue to exist in some other form.
2. The purpose of life
The purpose of the physiological world -the womb world- was to develop eyes, ears, lungs, feet, hands and brains that were of no use in that environment. Their necessity became apparent in the following world, this physical world.
The purpose of the physical world in which we live now, is to develop moral virtues and to put them to the service of mankind. The usefulness of the effort of polishing our character and acquiring moral virtues will become apparent in the other dimensions of life which are not material but spiritual.
Progress continues in all the worlds and is not limited to this physical world.
To conclude death has been wrongly interpreted during the infancy of humanity as non existence. There are many things in our modern world that we can not see or touch but in which we believe. Gravity, waves, etc.. are classical examples.

Yes. Death does over-power the belief in life. That is why Christian theology maintains that an ontological union with God through the mutual identification of energies is essential to salvation and the inculcation of moral virtue.

Death is a travel, from existent to unknown world.

Being Buddhist, we see life as a circle or wheel with many incarnations, and each life incarnation represents one phase in learning until we get it right...so advance or spin your wheels or regress. When we achieve enough merit, we advance into Nirvana....heaven. We see death as a transitional point only....

Jesus overpowers the power of death.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (1 Corinthians 15:26)
