* In, ''The Night Angel Trilogy'' after Kylar dies for the first time (and every other time) he wakes up in an antechamber, with only The Wolf for company.
* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', when Rachel dies, she ends up there, and talks to the [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Ellimist]] about the events of her life. When she asks what happens next, she is cut off, and the perspective switches to someone else.
* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', when Harry dies he ends up in a cleaner, emptier version of King's Cross Station. It's more or less stated that [[A Form You Are Comfortable With|this is only how it appears to him]], as {{spoiler|Dumbledore}} is surprised when he mentions it aloud. His options are to return or to go "on". "On" is not described. There's also the ghosts, who did not cross over either because they had unfinished business or (in {{spoiler|Nearly-Headless Nick's}} case), they were too afraid of what might be waiting on the other side, and are now stuck on Earth for some unspecified amount of time.
* In ''[[Ghost Story]]'', Harry Dresden has just saved the day as a ghost and gets to see his friends before he goes on. Somewhat averted, in that we see what happens after he moves on as well: {{spoiler|he gets resurrected by his very ticked-off boss, who isn't going to let a little thing like a messy assassination keep her from getting her money's worth}}.
 
Line 49:
** "The Passersby". A long column of dead soldiers walk past a mansion on the way to their final destination.
* ''[[M*A*S*H|Mash]]'' episode "Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead". The ghost of a dead soldier wanders the camp and eventually finds a group of other ghosts traveling along the road to the afterlife. Almost certainly <s>a ripoff of</s> based on "The Passersby".
* ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'': First you go through a door, then there's a hallway (which is apparently horrible), beyond that there's a few waiting rooms, and then...?
* ''[[The Crow]]: Stairway to Heaven'' had one in the form of a bridge where Shelly waited for Eric. When you crossed it you moved on to the afterlife.
* In the final season of ''[[Lost]]'', the ending revealed that the flash-sideways alternate universe was actually this.
