No one knows. And if they try to tell you any different, they are either lying, filling you and themselves with false hope, or are trying to scare the shit out of you.
But, if you had to ask my opinion, we die, then we float through the universe or just become fertilizer.

You (usually) either get buried or cremated. In the first case your body will be a great meal for several types of germs and bacteria. In the second case your body will be plainly reduced to ash, water, carbon dioxide and some other gasses.
I doubt anything happens. I'd like to have my ashes spread in space though. Then I'll meet some aliens who have figured out how to give life back to the living, they'll fix me p at my prime and I'll go on loads of adventures...
Hang on let, me write this down.

Who knows?It's not something we should build our lives around, anyhow.
We'll find out when we get there. No use in wasting time on the journey.

So you become someone who isn't you. Sure sounds reassuring, and entirely sensible.The_Oracle said:
I mean, why would a body use your soul if for all intents and purposes they could just use a blank one? There has to be a way to make new ones because otherwise in a population explosion we'd end up with a 'cap' on humans after which only comatose shells are born, or in extinction there would be souls that never had a chance at life.
Christ, at least still being yourself in death has that 'you live on' vibe. Becoming someone else not only takes that away but means you actively wouldn't care about your previous self!

To answer the question, you get put in a box, usually wearing a suit. Your family say nice things about you and listen while someone who never met you talks about you, they usually cry at this (if they liked you). After that they either burn you or bury you, probably whichever you asked them to do...then they go out and get drunk together. After this they fight and bicker over who gets your crap, and after THAT they MIGHT occasionally think about you for a couple of seconds every few weeks or so.
Anything on top of that is just guessing that uses the well known 'well it would be nice' principle as proof of concept. I reckon it'd be a riot if it turned out we was actually all the same person, when you die you just come back as someone else, from another time, until you'd been everyone. That is ofcourse using a variant of the 'well it would be nice' principle called the 'well it would be a laugh' sub-section.
As much as I'd like to believe in an after-life, I'd hate for any higher power that rules it to actually be like they are described in religious doctrine. So for that reason I'm gonna say worms and maggots and stuff will eat me. Probably arse first cos thats the fleshy bit.
All of your guns are taken and you respawn at the nearest hospital with half of your money gone. If I'm gonna answer seriously no one knows and right now it looks like no living human will. The best thing to do is not to think about it and enjoy your life as much as you can as science thus far shows that we only have one chance at it.
On the same line of thinking it would be carbon heaven for us.
Well I used to think it was nothing at all, but after viewing this thread... horse rape. Definitely horse rape.
