eternal reward
Salvation after death
Eternal reward is a religious concept referring to the bliss or salvation awaiting the righteous after death—typically heaven or union with God.
The phrase appears in religious contexts and eulogies: She has gone to her eternal reward.
It can be used ironically about death generally, without religious implication: The old miser finally met his eternal reward.
