I would like to know how the Amish believe regarding life after death. Is heaven real to them and do they believe in angels.

Well, you won't find any practicing Amish on here to get a completely accurate answer, only what people have "heard" or "read". They don't use modern technology such as computers and the internet.
However, from my understanding of their beliefs and from having talked with people of their faith, the answer is a resounding YES! Their beliefs have not been corrupted by "modern thinking". They are amazing people and their faith is stronger than most others.

You are wrong about Amish not having computers or Internet. If it is needed for business, most clergy would approve.
However, it is unlikely to find a faithful Amishman on this website, considering the attitudes and expressions here.
Of course Amish believe in angels and heaven. You may not be close to an Amish community, but I bet you can find some Mennonites or river Brethren, or German Baptists nearby. They are all Anabaptists and share basic theological beliefs.

I believe the Amish interpret the Bible literally, as can be observed in their daily life. So I would say yes, they do believe in angels and in heaven.

I'm fairly sure they believe in heaven, they are of the Christan faith. As for angels, everyone has a different idea of what they are. Angels can be walking among us right here on earth. They aren't all floating around in heaven wearing white gowns and wings.
