I believe that if anyone that does good in their life, no matter of what belief, they get some higher enlightment past death.
If they did the opposite, they would be punished for their desisions in life.
If I could choose how to die, it would be when I'm really old. When I accomplished everything in life. Then I would embrace Death with open arms. I hope to live a long time to do whatever my heart desires so that I will very happy with what I have and did on my death bed.
My funeral would be a happy one. I wouldn't want anyone to cry at it. I would want everyone to celebrate that I've lived. That I can finally see what else that's beyond our lifespane and know I have no regrets.
That's what I want in my life. :D
