Why isn't the afterlife referred to as the afterdeath? When you think about it, that's technically what it is.

Afterdeath makes sense so it could work.
For life to end death has to occur so the term "Afterlife" is implying that death has already occurred so it works too.
I think life after death is how people more commonly say it? This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at August 1, 2017 6:55 AM MDT

'Afterlife' is nicer to say than 'afterdeath'. Both terms mean the same anyway. 

Afterdeath means making funeral arrangements and stuff like that. 

maybe cause most people dont like to think about death
