Panpsychism is the belief that consciousness, however minimal, is an emergent property of all matter, not just brain matter. From that perspective, there was some kind of consciousness before all of the matter came together to be "you" and something will remain once "you"'re gone.
Personally I think consciousness is an emergent property only under certain narrow circumstances. Death is defined as exactly those circumstances ceasing to be. I think it's the same before as after: "nothing".
