Just about. But you don't get to see them in Heaven. The last scene of the last book has a kid who's been a recurring villain since book 3 or 4 get back to his hometown, ready to meet his family and friends again, so very overjoyed that he got the Mark of the Beast, which in this case was a forehead-injected antidote to a paralyzing gas that's going to be released to kill all of the eeeevil Christians. ...but /everyone/ in town has already converted. So he gets to town and there's all these dead bodies frozen in positions of great joy and rejoicing, while he runs around, the only one left alive, trying to find anyone else. And there are the bodies of his family and friends, all frozen in expressions of great happiness, completely dead, while he's left utterly alone...
Now there is a scene that lasts a lifetime in memory, I'll tell you.
