In the physical, you go nowhere. Your heart ceases to beat, and you die. Your body will decay, and the elements of your body will return to the earth. Their bodies are usually buried, or cremated (the body is burnt).

However, there is differing belief or opinion on what happens to your soul upon death, or of the "afterlife" (if there is one). Soul: the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.

One who is a Theist, or who believes in a "God" (the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe) who actively plays a part in our world. Polytheists believe in multiple "Gods". Theists usually believes in some sort of Heaven, or eternal resting place without suffering for the souls of the saved. There is also usually a counter belief of Hell, a place of suffering for those that have sinned unforgivably. Some believe in reincarnation; that your soul is born again in another body. But every religion will have a slightly different outlook on the subject. Do research, and see what different religions believe.

A Deist may have personal beliefs, but the outlook is usually one of the physical. They are not Theist, in the fact that they believe "God" created the world but has no active role in it.

Agnostics may have differing personal views on what may or may not happen. They believe that neither the argument for or against "God" can be proven. Some believe we will know it someday, and others believe it is unknowable. So, in words many of what a Agnostic may or may not believe is open. They are usually more scientific in nature.

An Atheist believes there is no "God". They believe in the physical and the scientifc.

However, for all the beliefs we have, nothing has been proven as to what may exist beyond this physical world. It also has not proven that there is definitively nothing beyond this physical world. To a hole on earth or to ashes in my case
