Well... That´s the old "where will I go when I die?" question, and the best answer I can come up with is "you´ll find out when you die...".
I can imagine a lot of cool afterlives but when I get down to it I don´t know for certain.
What I do know is that my family, and memories of my actions and personality, will live on. Your reputation in life and death will often have consequences to your family and friends - and depending on how you led your life, and how people remember you, those consequences may be good or bad.
IMO, you might as well work on improving the things you care about that you know will be there when you are gone - children, family, friends, community, reputation and so on.
Anyway, that´s my take on the whole afterlife business.
