Death is the end for all time

After Death is non-existence forever. A human is only the brain and the body that's it. once the brain dies the brain can no longer generate consciousness ever again.

A human brain has 86 billion neurons brain cells each can have 1000's of connections to other neurons which can form incredibly large numbers of patterns. This is what creates consciousness and thinking

This is how many different ways you can arrange 52 cards 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000
so imagine what number of ways the 86 billion neurons can arrange. this complexity is there for a reason to create the mind.

How the Mind Emerges from the Brain's Complex Networks

The new discipline of network neuroscience yields a picture of how mental activity arises from carefully orchestrated interactions among different brain areas

What Actually Is Consciousness, and How Did It Evolve?

Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. Consciousness is no exception—it seems nonphysical, but is very much a biological phenomenon.

Is There Life After Death? The Mind-Body Problem

Death has never been popular. The intuition that the mind is more than the product of the brain and will survive its death feels correct, but is flatly contradicted by science.

Synaptic Plasticity: Multiple Forms, Functions, and Mechanisms - Neuropsychopharmacology

Experiences, whether they be learning in a classroom, a stressful event, or ingestion of a psychoactive substance, impact the brain by modifying the activity and organization of specific neural circuitry. A major mechanism by which the neural activity generated by an experience modifies brain...

Why would a tiny animal like a human outlast the Earth ( 5 billion years to go) the Sun 10 billion years, the universe?

Even protons and black holes will decay as the universe expands forever into nothingness

The Beginning to the End of the Universe: A cold, lonely death

Everything — from creatures to stars to black holes — will eventually decay into nothingness.

How big a battery would be needed to power a soul for a trillion to the quadrillion power years since you need to eat 3 meals a day pounds of food to power the brain for one day ? where is this battery , what or where are souls what are they doing , why are they and god hiding? why hasn't anyone with all the equipment tech not been able to detect a soul, it's power source , god , afterlife , reincarnation , computer simulation , magic etc. ?

The size of a funeral or memorial service isn't important. I've been to huge services where 99% of the people attended because they felt obligated and the deceased was an asshole. Someone dying doesn't make them a saint. I've been to tiny services where the deceased was a wonderful person and was truly being mourned/missed. So there's that.
As far as what comes next, who knows. It, like so many other things in life, is dependent upon ones views and beliefs or lack thereof. But all human and animal life is energy. Energy can't be destroyed- only changes. So, something happens, but what? Time will tell.

Yes

 

[FuneralCry]

I hope you find peace from all the suffering, I wish you all the best, existence really is too cruel, I personally just hope and believe that death is nothingness where all is forgotten about for me and I'll never exist again.

 

[divinemistress36]

Nobody knows but those who have reported NDEs say otherwise

 

[dust-in-the-wind]

It's the great mystery so nobody knows.

I hope that's true. But it also makes me wonder: wasn't I essentially "dead" before I was born? So how is it possible that I'm alive now? Why does anything exist at all, rather than just nothingness? And what's the deal with time only moving forward? What if it could go backwards? Sometimes I even think about the possibility of a multiverse, where infinite versions of "me" might exist, experiencing every conceivable form of pain this world has to offer.
