A religious person would say you go to an afterlife, whether it be good, or bad, depends on how you've acted in your mortal life.
I would say you cease to exist. You just simply stop living. All of your memories, love, sadness, hatred, just stop. You're a well constructed pile of flesh in the ground, maybe left to die in some ungodly place.
I'm sure we would all love to think that we are going to leave behind love ones who will always remember you, people that will never forget the days they've spent with you. But really, unless you're some kind of famous singer/athlete/hitler, you won't be remembered by millions. Hell, you're lucky if you've made an impact on even one person to make them remember you for their life.
It's sad really if you think about it, but we really are just tiny fucking ants compared to the grand scheme of things.
