We can read in Plato the opinion of Socrates, it's an opinion I side with. He says there are two options. Either death is like sleep that we don't awaken from (and it's a most welcome repose, free from trouble and worry) or it's a transition for the mind (even better than the other option). Marcus Cicero was repeating this in his Tusculan disputations.
I very much wish it's the second option and I after I die would get the chance to speak with them and Einstein, Newton, Darwin and pretty much every interesting person in history. But so far there's nothing, not even one confirming experiment, not even a hint, to suggest that's the case and souls actually exist and are transferred somewhere after the body dies. After all, biological molecules do not need a soul, a vital force or a creator to make them alive, they just do it in the right conditions. Living creatures are a crafty mix of physics and chemistry, made possible by laws of quantum mechanics which govern how atoms come together to form molecules. And as such, I'm inclined to think they just perish when the conditions are unbearable.

Sorry, I’ m afraid not; but if you did want one, I guess one would say “the proof is in the pudding”
