The problem with this question is that it is impossible to determine. We don't really have much evidence. Nobody has ever truly come back from the dead to tell us. Near death experiences that people talk about are most easily explained by hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation in the brain (Occam's razor and all). The only thing that I am justified to say about the subject is "I don't know." Since brain activity stops after death, I am inclined to say that we cease to exist, but I cannot say for sure.
