The Bible doesn't elaborate on that as the event was to explain death as sleeping in the tomb (see John 11:11-14). This 'resurrection' was to show the people that Jesus truly is God and can raise the dead - which He will do for all who died at the Judgment process (not a sentencing trial but a chance to repent with full knowledge of God and His Law as it will be written upon their hearts - Ezekiel 11: 18-20).


Popular teachings have the dead going immediately to either their reward in heaven or their eternal punishment in hell. This is not biblical but more philosophical (Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian). This example of Lazarus is just one of the teachings on death as sleep. In this event, Lazarus had not gone to either heaven or hell. He had been simply entombed, where he "slept" in death until Jesus called him out of the grave by a miraculous resurrection. It doesn't get any plainer than that.


Various stories through the years had Lazarus living either until Jesus' resurrection or a full life of the time. No one knows for sure except that he, like all mankind is surely dead now awaiting the Judgment call.
