this is a question without answer.
because nobody knows where is it!
Roman Catholic AnswerHeaven is not so much a "where" as a state of being. Heaven is being in a state of seeing God as He is, and being with Him. In a very real sense, we are living in heaven NOW, IF we are saints, if we are living the life that God wants us to live, and not sinning, then we are starting to live in heaven. But here we see as in a glass darkly, our sight is veiled. At the time of our death, the veils are torn and we will clearly see the state that our soul is in. According to The Bible, for most of us this will be a Horror for "...For wide if the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who enter that way." Matthew 6:13b.from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Heaven. The place and condition of perfect supernatural happiness. This happiness consists essentially in the immediate vision and love of God, and secondarily in the knowledge, love, and enjoyment of creatures. Until the final resurrection, except for Christ and His Mother, only the souls of the just are in heaven. After the last day, the just will be in heaven in body and soul. Although the same God will be seen by all and enjoyed by all, not everyone will have the same degree of happiness. The depth of beatitude will depend on the measure of God's grace with which a person dies, and this in turn will be greatly conditioned by the merits that one earns during life on earth. Heaven is eternal because it will never cease. It is continuous because its joys never stop. It is communal because the happiness is shared with the angels and saints and the company of those who were known and love on earth.

Is Catholic or non-Catholic the way to heaven?
The Catholic Church, which was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, teaches that the way to heaven is to do the Will of God. It teaches that the clearest way to do this is through the Catholic Church, which teaches with His voice: "Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." St. Matthew 28:19-20. The Church teaches that to the extent that they are consistent with the Church, non-Catholic Churches teach part of the truth, and for those who do not realize that the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation, may be a means of doing God's Will, but only in a partial and crippled manner. The full means of salvation ("way to heaven") subsists in the Catholic Church, this is infallible teaching.
What is the Catholic teaching on the state of the dead?
The Catholic Church's teaching is that every individual is judged at the moment of death, this is called the particular judgment, and they are deemed worthy of heaven, or they have condemned themselves to hell. If they are worthy of heaven, but still have the detris of forgiven sin on their soul, then they go to purgatory for a period in which to be completely cleansed, and then enter heaven. The dead in purgatory can pray for us, but not for themselves. All time of meriting is over upon death, so whatever spiritual state you are in upon death is the state you will be in for the rest of eternity.
