When you're dead it's over. You have had your time on earth and now it's time to let the next generation live.
You're born
you pass on your genes
you have fun
you die
THAT'S LIFE

No idea. It'll happen when it happens.
EDIT to your Additional Details: Atheist funerals can be some of the saddest there are, because people understand that they'll never see each other again.
“When my husband died, because he was so famous & known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me — it still sometimes happens — & ask me if Carl changed at the end & converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage & never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief & precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive & we were together was miraculous — not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous & so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space & the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me & it’s much more meaningful…
The way he treated me & the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other & our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.“

Beautiful. It made my eyes blurry when I first read it. Still does.

The same as happens to all the religions people in the world - nothing because you're dead and whatever you believed makes no difference. Your body might decompose, be burnt, digested or injected full of plastic and cut up into slices for an exhibition.

i've been to a humanist funeral i thought it was very good even gave the religious family members an opportunity to pray if they wanted to.

You either get buried or cremated, then you are eventually forgotten. Just like everyone else.

Check out nderf(dot)org. Plenty of non-believers post their stories out there. Hundreds of stories.
