When a man or woman dies, he or she is consigned from this world to BARZAKH. Regardless of the fact whether the dead body is laid in the grave or cremated, he retains the power of understanding and comprehension. The Holy Prophet(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is reported to have said that when the corpse is put in the bier and the people carry the dead body to the graveyard, if he is pious person, he requests them to carry him as fast as they can and if he is a wrong doer, he curses the wretchedness in store for him and asks where is being led to. The Holy Prophet(peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) is also reported to have said that except human beings everything else hears the cries of the dead body. If a man were to hear the cries of the dead body, he would faint. The interval between death and the Day of Resurrection is called Barzakh. The literal meaning of Barzakh is obtruction or barrier. Since this period is a barrier between this world and life Hereafter, it is called Barzakh. Since the people usually bury the dead body,there is only the word "grave" which finds mention in the traditions in regard to happiness or punishment of Barzakh. This does not mean that those who are cremated to cast adrift in the river do not remain alive in Barzakh. The fact is that reward and punishment pertain to soul. It may also be remembered that the Almighty Allah is so Potent that He can assemble the scatterd particles in order to inflict punishment( if that person committed any sins). According to a tradition a sinful person while dying, advised his sons to cremate half of his dead body after his death and scatter his ashes in the air and flow the other half in the sea. After that he expressed his apprehensions that God would restore him to the life in spite of the precaution he had taken for his safety. He would give him awful punishment which would be more grievous than the punishment borne by any other man. When he died, his sons acted upon his advice. Then the God commanded the sea to assemble all the particles that it contained. The sea did that. Similarly, the air in obedience to the command of God assembled all the parts that it contained. The Almighty God gathered together gathered together all the particles and restored him to life and asked him why did he make such a will. He submitted that he done so for fear of Him and He was the best Knower. God forgave him. God forgives those who fear Him. From the tradition is also clear that the believers in Barzakh not only pay a visit to one another but also ask the new entrants about the condition of their acquaintances in the world. Please read more about the Barzakh in the Internet, which will explain further about what happens after death.

Well, all I know is that the men believe they will be surrounded by beautiful women, so I'm guessing they go to their heaven, whatever that may be.
