Do people bring their memories with them after they died - entering Heaven or Hell?

There is no Biblical proof of it, but your memories are what makes the punishment or the reward fitting for the occasion. Without memories of a past life you would not be aware of why you are punished or why you are rewarded.

I take this nonsense a little farther. Without a brain you have no memories. Some think that thoughts and memories can survive the death of the brain but they seem to forget that without a brain you had no thoughts anyway. What is my proof? Ask yourself if you can remember the many countless years prior to your existence. Of course, you cannot.

Then we have the groups who want to prove life after death by doing silly scientific experiments. I call these experiments “silly” because no one induces death, waits for rigor mortis to set in, then tries 3 days later to bring the dead person back to life. Instead, the “dead person” is alive the entire time. Bible believers would have you think that god brings you back from nothing in death just to reward or punish you, or that you are never really dead at all.

Humans are so afraid of death that they cannot stand the idea. I suppose I’m just as bad. I have a “get out of hell free” card just in case.
