Slowly the lights of the torches in front of him [Meriadoc] flickered and went out, and he was walking in a darkness; and he thought: ‘This is a tunnel leading to a tomb; there we shall stay forever.’

It seems that the Hobbits (or at least Meriadoc) did not
believe in an afterlife (other than staying forever in a tomb).
