He himself would have probably answered that this question "does not apply".

Paranibbana - the final nibbana - is the complete cessation of suffering. The fires of craving are extinguished and there is no further rebirth. This final state/place/existence/experience (whatever you choose to think of it as) is said to be beyond the capacity of language. Basically you can't describe it with words.

This question is not applicable to Buddha or Arhants because they have no Rebirth after death. When Buddha was asked, what happens to him after death? Buddha replied, this question is not applicable to him. His state of existence after death will be beyond to be or not to be.

The Buddhists believe that after you die you are reborn based off of how you acted during your life. If you acted poorly, you'll be reborn something bad, like an ant. But if you acted good, the opposite will happen.

After death the Buddha was cremated. Relics (as an example, one of his teeth) are preserved. As is the case with saints relics in the Christian churches, no proof of the origin of these objects is available.

Buddhists go neither to the Christian heaven or hell any more than Christians go to the Egyptian afterlife to be judged by osirus who weighed their heart against the Feather of Truth. Every religion has an imaginary place they think they will wind up in. For Buddhists, if they die when they have not yet become enlightened they are returned to the cycle of death and rebirth through reincarnation. if they are enlightened they may enter the state of Nirvana where they loose all sense of self in union with the Universe - if they want to. if they do't opt for Nirvana they may return to the cycle of death and rebirth to help others find enlightenment.As an aside, Buddhism has no gof granting passage or judgement in the afterlife, it is a persons own actions that determine their fate. There is no heaven or hell just a constant process of striving for enlightenment.

Interestingly, Mark Twain in "Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven" (1909),proposes that if there is a heaven it is big enough with enough doors to allow members of all faiths to find what they expect whether it is flitting around on white wings for Christians, fighting all day and drinking all night in the Vikings Valhalla, or purposeful non-existence in Nirvana.

Buddhists believe in an essentially unending sees of cycles between death and rebirth. This potentially ends when enlightenment is reached and you may or may not enter Nirvana a state of selfless being. If you chose not to enter Nirvana you can return to the cycle of death and rebirth to help others become enlightened.
