dcgmck:
Dumbledore tells Harry in PS/SS that death is but the next great 
adventure.  Nearly Headless Nick tells Harry in OotP that he was 
afraid of the next plane of existence.  Harry, Luna, Neville, and 
Ginny hear voices across the threshold beyond the Veil.  There is 
only conjecture because no one has returned from either Elvenhome or 
from beyond the Veil to say, at least as far as we have thus far been 
informed...
