What will you do after you're dead?

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, your brain and body is a powerhouse, when you die where does it go?  If it can be held together in an other form......?

My body and brain use food )and water) as fuell to do things since I am not eating while I am dead and my body isn´t processing food and that energy is simply stored within me for bacteria to feast on. So that they may live, move and do stuff. So my answer is the energy my body and brain contains simply stays within me. If you would nurn me my energetic potential would still be pretty high.

As soon as you die your brain and body ceases to process food and water (fuel), the powerplant then powers down, you are not a battery that stores the energy to charge other devices.  The brain sends electrical impulses to the body through neurons firing and this ceases through the death process.  You seem to be talking about the nutrients contained within our skin, muscles, tissue, bone, and fluids that bacteria, microbes, mites, bugs, worms, and the symbionic organisms that exist on and outside of us and within us that will continue to feed upon us.  The nutrients and sustenance will be transferred to these other organisms but what about all that energy that we consist of that turns off at death?  Our conscience?  What some may call the soul?  It's there...science says it's there (even though it still isn't fully understood).  Religion does not grant us the ability to reason or have cognitive thought, so I'm not trying to introduce it other than the soul comment (but was only using it to describe what I'm talking about by the only name that this energy or force has been given).  I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your take a little further.
