Meeting Influential People in The Afterlife

It’s a fact, there’s no current technology for immortality… even if you’re a celebrity. While going into the Afterlife may seem like game over, at least, one is given a chance to reunite with a deceased loved one. Just image meeting a well-known celebrity in the afterlife? Well, celebrities are people too and can fall victim to what can deadly for an avenge person. So, having a celebrity in the afterlife makes a lot of sense, but it often depends on what did they do in life… as they’re subjected to judgment like everyone else.

This is often common in Dead to Begin With. If this is described in a poem or song, this would result in a Celebrity Elegy.

Fan Works

 * Final Stand of Death has the fallen meet up in the afterlife, which is justified given it's a Celebrity Deathmatch fic.

Film

 * A variation of this is made in the Pixar film Soul where influential deseaced people goes into mentoring young souls in The Great Before during the You Seminar. The deuteragonist of the film, 22, has been "mentored" by such illustrious souls like Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Marie Antoniette, Abraham Lincoln, Copernicus and Sigmund Freud amongs hundreds of others, only for them to end detesting the rude trolling young soul.

Literature

 * Older Than Print: In The Divine Comedy, the protagonist not only meets but is guided by Virgil, who died over a millennium before the poem was written.
 * Since Niven and Pournelle's novel Inferno has a Whole-Plot Reference to the Inferno in The Divine Comedy, its protagonist is also guided by somebody famous. Exactly who the guide is is a spoiler - we'll just call him "Benny" here.

Live-Action TV

 * A short-lived 1987 show called Second Chance, St. Peter is in his office in the Afterlife Antechamber, where he has recently deceased people stand up their final judgment. After allowing a dead beauty queen into Heaven, Peter deals with Colonel Gaddafi, before sending him to hell for what he had done. Those who were found to be neither good nor bad for either place are allowed to come Back From the Dead being given their second chance, which happened to a motorist who arrived shortly after being in an automobile collision.

Professional Wrestling

 * In his eulogy to "Mean" Gene Okerlund on Monday Night Raw, Hulk Hogan describes Okerlund having the angels entertained by setting up a tag-team wrestling match in Heaven. The team of The Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior against Roddy Piper and Mr. Perfect, with Andre the Giant as the special referee. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon would be calling the match as usual.

Western Animation

 * Family Guy episode, "Holy Crap", Peter explains how he was going to hell. Peter dreams of being in hell with a poker game going with Adolf Hitler, Al Capone, John Wilkes Booth, and ... Superman. Peter asks what was Superman doing in hell, which he's told that he killed a hooker for making of his ability to outrun a speeding bullet.
