In the Beginning man was made from dust and dust you will return(Genesis 3:19) Your spirit (soul) returns to God the One who gave it to you and only God can retore it (Psalm 104:29)
There is no conscious existence after death (Ecclesiastes 9:5,10) There is a resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:42,48) (Acts 24:15) We do live on earth again (Psalm 37:11) As for Heaven there is one (Matthew 6:10) and (Psalm 103:11) About hell read ( Matthew 18:9) and (Mark 9:43-48) It is Food for Thought

Try this site http://askyourbible.com/ it'll tell you in a better detail than I could. As far as I know, our bodies go to our graves (sheol) and then after judgement day we all go back on earth together, then those that are good live forever, and those that are bad go back to their grave.
We got hell from this place called Ge-Hanneh or something, where there was a giant bonfire burning day and night where the towns refuse went along with the bodies of criminals, and people would say "ah that guy, he belongs in Ge- Henneh" and that sort of turned to the personification of Hell.

I don't KNOW what happens after we die (other than our bodies stop moving).
What I THINK, however, is that:
When you die, if you lived a good life you go to heaven. Some will be reincarnated to continue to perfect their souls, but those who are done just stay on the Other Side.
If you are an evil person, then you get reincarnated automatically.
I don't believe in hell.

Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 reads: "The dead know nothing . . . In the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (New International Version) Scripturally, death is a state of nonexistence. The dead have no awareness, no feelings, no thoughts

I don't know why I'm answering this, since you seem convinced about your own answer, but believe it or not, there is a lot of evidence that points towards the existence of reincarnation. Here is some information (fairly unbiased, exploring both sides and with links to other information) on reincarnation.

there are different dimensions you can go to...there was upper Sheol and lower Sheol before Christ died...upper Sheol being "Paradise", and lower Sheol being where bad people were kept...it was separated by a "gulf" which kept those who were in lower Sheol from entering upper Sheol and vice versa. i forget where you find that in the bible...i think its has to do with the story of Lazarus the beggar in front of the rich mans house. nowadays I'm not exactly sure where we go...

I'll take this in sections... You have the scriptures right, those who are dead are conscious of nothing. As for "hell", it's translated from the words "sheol", "hades" and "gehenna". The first two have practically the same meaning. they mean "dead". "Gehenna" refers to an ancient dump where people put their trash and dead bodies from people unworthy of a burial. when the bible makes reference to Gehenna, it means basically that you're screwed. There are many greek/hebrew bible word guides you can find that tell you what word is used in what scripture. but yeah, after we die we aren't concious of our existance.

You don't have to worry about a resurrection there won't be one. there is no soul. If there was a sole people would certainly be aware of it. Why would the sole lie dormant and wait for a resection? It is all nonsense.

John 5
28"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned."
