Can someone who believes the brain and mind are the same still believe in an afterlife?

There are physicalists who defend the possibility of, and believe in, an afterlife. But the typical solution to the apparent contradiction is provided by the resurrection of the body. If the afterlife involves a bodily resurrection, then there's no particular problem for the physicalist. (Or, rather, there are problems like how this resurrection happens and in such a way that preserves the identity of the resurrected person. But there are at least no problems pertaining specifically to the issues of the mind-body problem.)
