Yes Seventh-day Adventists honour our deceased and have a funeral; however we look forward to Jesus's return when all who have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus and are slumbering in their graves will be given eternal life and meet him in the sky. When you die you do not go directly to heaven or hell you go to sleep. Ghosts are Satan's angels/demons posing as the dead to have people believe that the soul is immortal which would make us like God. If we are like God what need do we have for him? And if we go straight to heaven when we die why does Jesus need to come back and get us? Hell as is depicted currently in many churches is a myth and was created to get people to pay penances to the church to help get their loved ones out of hell - it was a money making scheme. The world will be destroyed by fire before it is made anew and that fire will burn forever. However the term "forever" is a measurement of time and ends when it's over. When the earth is finished being cleansed by fire and the wicked (those who would never have accepted Jesus's sacrifice for them) have been destroyed then the earth will be made anew and God will reside here on this planet with his people throughout eternity.
