The LORD said unto Abram, "And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age."

A certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude, said to Daniel "go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."

Jesus told in this parable, "It came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom...now he is comforted."

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

And what about David in Psalms 18? You should read it sometime... interesting stuff...
