Yes, there is a type of afterlife in this world! But the details of which will be revealed later.
Sabriel and characters with similar abilities or a sixth-sense will be able to sense the emotional imprint of a deceased spirit. Communication may occur through concentrating on this imprint, although any conversation returned by the deceased will appear more dream-like and repetitive of their last, strongest sentiments left in the living world. Communication occurs through an open channel through a character's amulet, allowing a character to either hear or see a ghost through it. No communication can occur with any ghost from the land below the island, and characters cannot enter the afterlife in any physical or spiritual form.
