Horatio is the only main character in Hamlet to survive the final scene.
However Fortinbras also survives the play, and some might consider his a main character. Though he doesn't appear until the end of the play, he is referenced numerous times, and ultimately becomes the new king of Denmark.
Hamlet prevents Horatio from drinking what's left of the wine that Claudius poisoned, because Hamlet wants Horatio to tell people his side of the story.
I think hamlet wants to stay alive because he stated that he wished that he did not challenge Leartes to a fight
There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?
Horatio received a letter from Hamlet that was unexpected because it revealed that Hamlet was alive after being presumed dead. The letter detailed Hamlet's return to Denmark and his experiences during his time away. It also contained requests for Horatio to meet him and indicated that significant events were about to unfold. This correspondence signified a pivotal moment in the story, signaling Hamlet's intentions and the unfolding of the plot.
All the members of the family that we know of are dead.

Hamlet was thinking about that question because of the things he been through like his fathers death and the killer being the uncle.

he looked as he did in life and was wearing his battle armer.
Hamlet's famous soliloquy, beginning with "To be or not to be," is found in William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, in Act 3 scene 1.The line encompasses how Hamlet wrestles with himself over whether it is better to be alive and put up with the horrors and pains of life or to give up and pass into the sleep of death.

The speech reflects upon life and death. How something that was once alive (the court jester) and whom Hamlet had spent much time with is now lifeless and a rotting corpse.
