This is a question that any right thinking person will be asked and more often than not turn to belief system and way of life rather than the logic of the matter. They tend to think in that line not because logic does not explain this issue but because it does not offer an explanation that satisfies their inner self. The matter of where do we go after death is such a controversial factor that it raises more questions than answers and its deemed to be the ultimate equalizer.
In old Egypt they had a society ruled by kings known as pharaohs and the belief at that time was not similar to what modern day Egypt believes in. They believed that they whenever a ruler at that time died his or her servants had to be buried with them. This was because at that time they believed that the servants will aid them in service in the afterlife as they are still royals even in the afterlife
In the Buganda kingdom they also had a belief system that there was life after one dies. With this in mind even following the death of a Kabaka they believed that the king was still royal. Thus, upon the demise of a king they extracted the jaw bone of the king and preserved it in a royal museum since they were still royal and put it as a souvenir.
The Hindu has a different totally different view in relation to death as compared to the earlier mentioned groups. They believed that its not the end of life and life in itself is basically a continuation of someone elses life. They believed that after one dies, the person will be born in another state in another body. To them, this is just a step but the individual soul will be reborn in another state or body.
Unlike the Hindus the Christians have a different way of viewing things. They believe in an all-powerful God. One who is omnipresent and omnipotent. They believe that their actions on earth are seen by him and no matter where they hide He is present. Whenever a Christian dies they believe that they are judged according to their actions on earth and if their final verdict is that they lived according to his will they go to heaven but if theirs were ill intentioned they face eternal death on a lake of fire or hell.
A good percentage of people also believe that life is basically on earth only; they believe what happens on earth stays on earth and that there is virtually no God. These are basically the atheists. This system of belief makes them understand life as it is. They believe that there are no other forces behind life and life is all about logic and reality. They believe dying to be the end of everything.
The Muslims have a view that life is a preparation for death, a view that what life is a trial in itself making one ready for their final destination and it gives one the courage to face the next form of existence and all the pleasantries that accompany it.
This in itself is a topic which no single human being can fully understand it, it is a state that nobody wants to go to as there virtually exists no evidence of what happens there.
