The Bible's view of death is certainly worth looking at.
Take a look at what it says about the death of Lazarus.
John 11:11 Jesus said that Lazarus was sleep. He said he was going to awaken him. "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. "
The disciples didn't understand that he was talking about death.
Notice verses 11-14:
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 says: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Martha told Jesus that she knew there would be a resurrection on the "Last Day".
John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Martha knew this because of what Jesus said at John 5: 28,29
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Death is not the end. There is a future time that is "coming" when all asleep in the grave. On the last day. Resurrected by Jesus. All are asleep in the grave until that time.
