We have a wake in your honor. Much beer and whiskey are quaffed.
Other than that, you're worm food.

Most of the time, brain death is caused by a disruption in circulation carrying oxygen to the brain, whether this is caused by organ failure, asphyxiation, disease, trauma, whatever. When the brain dies, it can no longer monitor and control the heart and lungs, so they soon fail if they have not already done so. Without oxygen and food circulating throughout the body, the rest of the body's cells die if they have not already done so.
Once the cells are dead, they can offer no resistance to the bacteria that cause the putrefaction process. Bacteria in the digestive tract start to consume the corpse from the inside out, producing vile-smelling gas that will begin to leak from the corpse one way or another in a few days. Meanwhile, blood no longer being pumped pools at the lowest points in the circulatory system; a corpse dead on its back for a few hours will show red or purple blotches on its butt.
Chemical changes in the body will cause the corpse to stiffen up a few hours after death ("rigor mortis"), then it will gradually relax afterward. Chemicals given off by the decaying corpse will attract certain insects who will find a corpse miles away and lay eggs on it, the rate at which these eggs hatch and the maggots begin to eat the corpse is so predictable that coroners can estimate how long a corpse has been dead from the types and ages of the maggots found on it.
The decay process may be interrupted at any time by the arrival of a scavenging animal, such as a vulture, or human intervention, an undertaker shooting the corpse full of chemicals to preserve it. If the decay process continues, eventually everything except the mineralized bones will be consumed, and the decomposed tissues recycled back into the environment.
Even in corpses that have been artifically preserved, water loss through evaporation causes the soft parts of the corpse to shrink slightly, creating the illusion that hair and nails have grown slightly after death, when in fact the skin beneath them has receded.

i think and believe that when you die your spirit leaves your body and goes to another level of conciseness. And then your body is just a shell. I also think that if your good you go to heaven and if your bad you go to hell
But nothings true untill its been proved to be true by the people who died and that. Because they have not come back to tell us what its like so we never no,its just everyone different belives.
