ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I get to grips with questions about identity and continuity which inevitably arise once the idea of post-mortem survival is taken seriously. If we survive death, in what form do we survive it? What constitutes a person’s identity in that post-mortem existence and guarantees it through any changes that a person undergoes? Could it ever make sense to say that one survives death not as oneself but as someone or something else, or as part of someone or something else? In the case of serial survival, is it one and the same person who is manifest through a succession of different individuals, or does serial survival mean being, or becoming, a succession of different persons?
