Do you mean atheists who believe in some kind of life after death?
As I don't think there is a scientific theory about what happens after death - other than rigor mortis, decay etc.
I don't btw (believe in an afterlife)

Same as happens to every other living thing on this planet - nothing. It's the end simple as that.
You don't have to "believe in" science. It's a fact. We live with it everyday.
It's on your computer screen right now.
The question is a straw man - an imaginary scenario created so it can be argued against.
An atheist is generally accepted to be someone who does not believe in the supernatural. An "atheist" who believed in some kind of afterlife would not be an atheist.
They would be some kind of spiritualist or animist or some other of the myriad variety of quasi-religions.

Atheists usually are skeptical of the supernatural because there isn't a SHRED OF EVIDENCE SUPPORTING IT.
That's the definition of observational deductive reason in the scientific process.

Some atheists believe in life after death, ghosts, and other supernatural things - just not gods.

The only qualifier for being an Atheist is simply no belief in the supernatural.
No afterlife.
Science has nothing to do with this.
Religion? Um, we're Atheist.

Oh yeah I know a guy who's like that. He says he doesn't like thinking about that stuff and you should just wait until it happens to know for sure.
