Where do we go when we die?

Death is here! En garde! - Oh, hey Death.

It's important to know. The Dead, in a sense, have not gone anywhere. They are right here with us. They walk among us as pretas ("hungry ghosts") if they did not attain a fortunate rebirth. Karma works opportunistically. So it is not possible to tell for any  person (other than those who have attained one or more of the stages of enlightenment by the overcoming of the defilements and fetters) where they have ended up -- in the heavens, another world in the human plane, among spirits, devas, ogres, animals, roughly categorized into 31 types of worlds, including hellish ones.
