After Life

Existence past death

The afterlife is the existence believed to follow death—heaven, hell, reincarnation, or other states depending on religious or philosophical tradition: She wondered if she'd see her father in the afterlife.

The concept appears across nearly all cultures and religions.

As two words, after life simply means following one's lifetime: His reputation grew after life ended.
