Remembering nothing doesn't mean there was nothing.
As I see it, there is the experience of reality from a certain frame of reference, from which the experience of "you" that makes up you (body, mind, perceptions, memories, ...) is observed and a story about that "you", an Ego, is inferred. Upon death, the "you" that is observed (incl. memories and the general identity you hold) dies, dissipates, and is transformed. However, how can the experience of reality itself "end"? The absence of "your" existence always passes unnoticed from your frame of reference, because by definition there is no way to observe not existing.
Therefore, to assume there is nothing after death makes no sense IMHO. It logically makes more sense to assume there will be some form of existence after this life, and although we might have no recollection of this life, it seems most optimal to assume and act as if what you do in this life will impact the next somehow, through mechanisms we might be still ignorant of.
