I know the atheist answer (worm food) and I know the fundamentalist Christian answer (heaven or hell) so I don't need to hear them again, thanks! What do other people think?

I'm not sure but I can tell you that it seems to be very beautiful.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Apart from people crying and you being put in the coffin and being burried, nothing much really happens from the physical observation.
However, from the spiritual realm, when you die, you go either to heaven or to hell ~ depending on your obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I believe in life after death in the arms of my God. His promise to take me into His arms if I keep the faith, as I have done.
I did die on the table with a heart attack, they brought me back and, I believe I wasn't ready to go. I believe my spirit would have left my body that I'm using here on Earth. I would have gone home to Jesus and would have been reincarnated when and how the time was right, to live again as promised.
I sincerely believe in this.

Imagine stepping through a door and entering a room where there is .... nothing - no walls, no ceiling, no floors.
A thrilling, terrifying moment of realisation that all this time that people have been frightened of nothing, and everything that you had ever experienced before was infinitely more frightening and challenging. Then, this nothingness absorbs you in its entirety, and there is nothing more to worry about ....

I believe you do need to hear, because faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.
(John 3:16 KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I pray the blinders to come down from your eyes that you may see the truth and be set free, that every place you go that you will hear the gospel and be saved from eternity of punishment.

I believe how you lived your life and the lessons you can learn are significant. I believe some part of us continues on after death. That is as far as I can go, and it is as far as I need need go in order to enjoy my life. I believe their is a purpose an I feel what is right and wrong.

well, I'll be spending my afterlife in Rhode Island, drinking beer, mocking Republicans, and digging for clams.
