I grew up in a Reform synagogue. What we were told was: "Jews believe when you die you go six feet underground. That's it." Or something a little more interesting: "Judaism has nothing to say about afterlife because that Egyptians were obsessed with afterlife, building tombs instead of palaces, practically worshipping death. So Judaism is a religion of life." Maybe that's true.
But I found some orthodox Chabad Rabbis online who give a lot of info on afterlife. Heaven, Hell, Reincarnation, Ghosts, the whole nine yards. A lot of sophistication.

I could go further into it but ... I'm afraid I'll say something even too mean.
I mean, it's one thing to deemphasize the after life. Another to deny it completely.
