The period after death, the state or condition of existence following someone's death, or what happens to someone's affairs after they die.
From 'after' plus 'death' (from Old English deað). An archaic or literary term used in religious and philosophical contexts to discuss the afterlife.
Different cultures have wildly different concepts of afterdeath—some see it as eternal punishment, others as peaceful rest—but our obsession with it might be humanity's way of coping with the unknown.
