Perhaps it would be something similar to the Christian idea of
salvation.  Those who worship the Sun do not truly die.  They're
reincarnated, or they're brought to the Land of the Sun, a land of
eternal light and goodness.  Or even closer to Christianity, there will
be a Resurrection Day at some point in the future.

Of course, those heathens who reject the Sun, they perish when their
bodies die.
