The best answer I've ever heard - ever - to this question is this. I don't know.

I'm a Buddhist, and Buddha said Nirvana, or the after-life cannot be described. Further more. Why should I waist my time worrying about something that no one is sure of? Why should I waist my time praying for a cure for world hunger, when I can feed someone? Just an example of waisted time. After I die life will go on. I hope you have a long, peaceful, prosperous life.

Agnostic here, and I have no idea. But realistically, neither do you.
Sure, you have all these promises and stories hammered into your head, but the fact remains that no one has EVER returned from the dead to tell us what it was like (Jesus doesn't count, because that cannot be proven either) and you haven't died yet.
The way I see it, I would rather live my life fully instead of literally wawsting my time on Earth for the promise of the unknown. On my deathbed, I want to be able to exclaim, "That was fantastic! What's next?"

I will cease to think--my brain cells will be dead, after all, right? I will eventually decay and become dust. I say this because these are facts that are known and observable. If you think after you die you go to heaven, that's really nice. I hope you do. I hope I do. But it's kind of self-serving in respect to our fear of death to really think it's going to happen. I hope you're right and that I am wrong.

that big electrochemical reactor will slowly shut down, giving the owner an intense set of hallucinations in the process. Eventually it ends. Your body starts decomposing. Your non-existent soul remains non-existent. Eventually only bones are left. The world keeps turning.

The elements comprising my body will be recycled back into the environment. I have no idea what it will feel like. However if you just die and that's it, you won't be conscious to be upset about it. I won't ever think I'm dead.

gonna do just what the bible says
Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”
Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”

Nothing. Body decays. The end.
