Secular humanists generally are atheists and don't believe in an afterlife. Other than that, consult a doctor about what happens while a person is dying.

This is an accurate description of Humanism.
Humanism[1] is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appeal to universal human qualities—particularly rationalism. Humanism is a component of a variety of more specific philosophical systems, and is incorporated into several religious schools of thought. Humanism entails a commitment to the search for truth and morality through human means in support of human interests. In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on faith, the supernatural, or divinely revealed texts. Humanists endorse universal morality based on the commonality of human nature, suggesting that solutions to human social and cultural problems cannot be parochial.

That they will end up in a box, and that is it. No dreamlike heaven or burning hell. Just a box.

Humanism is more a philosophy or a science, not a religion.
