It is called Eschatology. Eschatology is the study of the afterlife.
Oxford Dictionaries define it as:
The part of theology concerned with death, judgement, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind.
Citation from the book: The Ethical Foundations of Criminal Justice By Richard A. Spurgeon Hall, Carolyn Brown
The systematic study of the afterlife is called Eschatology
People who DV should also explain the reason.
