What happens after death?

Biologically, bodily systems stop and the organism decomposes or is otherwise transformed. EarthSun has no settled evidence that personal consciousness continues. It therefore refuses to promise survival, punishment or rebirth. Grief, memory, influence and the material consequences of a life remain real.
