The practices and tradition vary between different schools of Buddhism.
Death is considered perfectly natural and is primarily only effecting one’s material manifestation. That which is one’s true self and essence is “no thing”, as it is not physical, material or corporeal. It is beyond such.
For some schools, death is seen as a moment of enlightenment wherein one realizes the truth and awakens to one’s innate Buddha nature.
Some schools teach reincarnation while others teach a transferrence.
Buddhism is an off shoot of Hinduism and began in northern India approximately 2500 years ago. Prince Shakiyumani, the Guatama Buddha, gave up his royal and pampered life to seek the meaning of existence and after 6 years of practice attained enlightenment when he arrived at the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.
