[General Fiction] Are there any stories where the existence is the afterlife is not only a confirmed part of the setting, but also actually affects how the characters think about death?

I was watching the latest season of the Magicians, and one of the main characters was pretty unbothered by the possibility of their imminent death because one of the consequences of their various adventures was that they knew the afterlife existed, they had a rough idea what it was like, and they knew they could be reunited with a love one in death.

Are there any other stories that have scenes like that? Any horror stories/movies where the protagonist stops and thinks about how, if ghosts exist, than souls must also exist, and so stops fearing death quite so much? Or stories where farming karma in order to get a good reincarnation is actually something somebody cares about?

Essentially, any good works of fiction where the afterlife isn't just something people believe in, but an actual, tangible part of the setting that actually affects how people think and act?

Order of the Stick takes place in a D&D universe so resurrection spells are available to anyone who can pay for them. Roy's girlfriend isn't really that broken up hearing about his death since they have the body and he didn't die of old age. There's still a whole story arc revolving around coming up with the expensive material components, but at the end of the day it's an obstacle, not a tragedy. Roy's father's death of old age, meanwhile, is treated as seriously as the comic can manage, since that means no coming back to the material plane. But even then the comic has an afterlife to soften the blow.
