Well, we don't really know, so the best we have is the experiences people have had of near-death. And the fact is, they invariably find what they expected to find: Christians see Jesus or an angel, non-Christian religious people see a light, or a spirit guide or whatever. And atheists tend to just have a blank, like when you sleep and don't dream.
Scientists have traced this to specific parts of the brain that are activated by the near-death experience. Does that mean "it's all in your head" or "that's the Holy Spirit within you" or "you are reaching for nirvana"?
Since I had two near-death experiences, I believe in reincarnation. The guide I talked to (a light without a discernible form which I understood to be vaguely human in shape) discussed what I had learned and also what I still needed to learn, which implied to me (I understood at the time) that I was preparing to choose my next mother. Instead, we discussed the fact that it was not too late for me to go back, and obviously I chose that option. But it was clearly my option. Which is odd when you figure that one of the times was as a result of a suicide attempt.

No one can say for sure. My personal belief is that a person's essence is made up of energy from the universe, and when the person dies, that energy leaves the body and is dispersed into the universe. The body returns to the earth, the essence to the universe, and the cycle is complete. Perhaps the concentration of energy is stronger where a person lived or died, or around the people they loved, but I don't believe that the dead sit around in the sky watching the living. They have passed from this plane and don't need to concern themselves with earthly matters.

Read Bardo Thodol (Tibetan book of death).
According to buddhist beliefs :
When a person dies , his desires still remain alive.
His desires make him seek out pleasure
as per his liking.
But he is unable to experience the pleasure
due to absence of sensual faculties(eyes,ears,nose etc)
So he seeks for a body and one day
he finds himself in a womb.
At birth he comes out again in this world,
maybe as a dog, a cow , any animal or bird
or as a human
and lives out his desires,
which do not diminish ,
rather increase.
He becomes old & dies
and the process continues.
The devil is the master of this process.
Devil wants people to remain
in this cycle , he makes them fall into
desires which lead to nothing but old age and death.
When enlightened Buddha understood this cycle of
rebirths and the cause of it as his own desires and
the devil which gives him a new life every time.
And then he searched a way out.
And that is, elimination of desires
through meditation into the deep
subterranean levels of his psyche
keeping mind and emotions still
and to achieve that one requires
to remain in celibacy.

Depends 100% on your relationship to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Those who have confessed Christ as Lord and believe in the ressurection of Jesus from the dead, their spirit will go to heaven to be with Jesus Christ. Those who do not believe, their soul will go to Hades and remain there until the Great White Throne Judgment and then they will be cast into Hell.
Of course that is just what Jesus Christ taught according to the Bible. If you don't believe in Him, then you probably won't believe that and you will have to wait and see..

Since what we refer to as spirit or personality has no concrete existence, it can't actually go anywhere -- because it's nowhere to begin with.

There is no such thing as a "spirit" or a "soul".
These are made up concepts with no basis in reality, designed to mollycoddle those too frightened to cope with the reality of death.

Nowhere. Consciousness ends, it's over, time for the worms and bacteria. Return your molecules to the earth.
