What happens to the souls of the righteous after they die?

Answered in 1 source

The souls of the righteous go immediately to heaven and are in a state of bliss.

Upon death, the souls of the righteous are taken to heaven where they experience the fullness of joy and the presence of God. This is illustrated in Luke 23:43, where Jesus tells the thief on the cross that he will be with Him in Paradise that very day. Furthermore, the faith of believers is rewarded as they are welcomed into a place of peace and rest (Isaiah 57:1-2). In heaven, they are not in a state of inactivity but actively worshiping God and engaging in fellowship with other saints (Revelation 7:14-15). This promises that the Christian life extends beyond earthly existence into a glorious future.
