I don't know about the rest of you, but death is something I contemplate often. Even though I have such fantastic and various undeniable experiences, I doubt my ability to have perceived them and I challenge myself to prove something: death is not the end.
I am not experiencing this currently. What prompted this topic is someone else stressing out about death. Please share both what you think happens when we die, and your top reasons for believing mortality applies only to this vessel. I will share mine too, but I'll let others answer first. It is important to me that I wait to answer.

I believe that when we die we go onto a parallel plane or dimension, perhaps one we have already mastered as per my previously voiced ideas. There is where we review the lessons of the last trip, rest briefly before coming back again to take on our next set of experiences or simply act as a guide for our fellow spirits while they are here experiencing, this is also where we wait after we have mastered life here to wait for the rest of the spirits to finish up. Then eventually the group will have completed the mastery of the experiences here and we will all move on to something new entirely.
My reason for believing that mortality only applies to the body as a shell has to do with my current experience. There are many things I know in my life that I shouldn't know based on my education, location and the experience of this body and yet I know them. I remember bits of past lives, nothing overly exciting, but enough to convince me I have been here before. I have also run across enough spirits/ghosts to know that they exist.

As I know, Death is an immeasurable things. Formless and unpredictable. It has as much chance to take the young as to take the Old. To steal the innocent and punish the unjust. To tempt and scare us as it must to move us through life till our time has come. You must either see it as death being a creature that takes what it wants. With no provocation or forethought, we are struck down like a lam from the herd and fed to the unknown. Or you can see it as some do. That death is an agent of fate. That it takes those in and at the moment of there most defining time. Forcing them to fall or stand and carry on. I fell years ago, but it was not my time and the experience was a incredible changing force in my life. No tunnel, no chorus, fires, or pain. But I still had things to do and others to live for, that would mourn me had I passed. And I would be Damned rather then turn to a strange shadow of my former self.
Mortality however? That is almost entirely up to the one living the life. Mortality is like and object that you hold in your hand. Remaining safe and sound until you so decide to manipulate it. And as just the same, someone can come along and snatch it from you easily unless you are not prepared to protect it. Either something far more powerful then you acts upon it. Or you yourself decides it is the time to loose its bindings and let it fall. Your life is yours...so go and live it.

When a person dies, one of two things happens. They either stay in this world, becoming a ghost due to unfinished business, a need for revenge, or even the fact that they do not know or cannot accept the fact that they are dead. If they do not stay, they pass over. I do not know where or the nature of this place, but I believe it to be Avalon, perhaps Heaven, perhaps the hospital waiting room. But it is a waiting place. The spirit will stay there for a while before it is reborn again. I cannot name any rules or conditions for being reborn. I like the idea that those who were bad in life will be reborn into a life deserving of their crimes, and those who were good will gain a good life after their are reborn. But this all depends on morals, and morals change depending on the person and place. I can't even say if I believe human souls and the souls of animals are different, perhaps I will be born as a caterpillar in my next life. I know some beliefs (Buddhist, I think?) believe that every time the soul is reborn it gets wiser or closer to perfection, or something like that. Again, not sure on that.
Anyways, this is my belief on death. Death is not the end, you are merely waking from the dream that is life.
