The Brief history of the dead

Kevin Brockmeier

"Adult/High School–In a not-so-distant future, a deadly virus kills off every human on Earth, except for Laura Byrd, a wildlife specialist on an expedition to the South Pole. Readers quickly learn that the dead move on to another life in a fantastic city on another plane of existence; there, they live out a second life free from aging and disease until every person who knew them on Earth dies."

it sound like the city of ember. it is about a city that is falling abart and all that. the people of sparks is when the city if ember goes above ground (the city of ember is underground) and meets the people of sparks. the people above earth used to know all about that but then it turned into a myth and then the ember people came and then the sparks people found out that the meber people was the myth.

it is by Jeanne DuPrau

i am not really good at explaining the two books but they are kinda close to what you were asking for

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold?

I have no idea, but it sounds very interesting and I hope someone comes up with the right answer for you, as I would also like to read it. Kudos.

could it be 'heaven can wait'? sorry, but i'm not sure.

if you go into 'barnes and noble' and choose books about the afterlife, you may recognize one of the titles.
