The stereotypical Near-Death Experience includes seeing a bright light, experiencing love coming from it, and sensing somehow that if you were really dead — not Only Mostly Dead — then you should go into it. Death is just the beginning, after all, and you probably had a very similar experience when you were being born.
Now, a sparkly light after death is seen as the functional means by which ghosts move on, as well as the difference between Near-Death Experience and Deader than Dead. Entire plots have been built around convincing ghosts to Go Into the Light. Psychopomp-style versions of The Grim Reaper help guide you there with varying degrees of force.
Compare Disappears into Light. Often overlaps with Stairway to Heaven and Ending by Ascending.

Arrow. When the Black Siren is impersonating her Earth-1 counterpart Laurel Lance, she has to explain how she's Not Quite Dead, so mentions this trope before clarifying that the bright white light was her sister Sara teleporting her on board the Waverider where she was revived using its advanced technology.

Mission Hill: Porno For Pyro: Kevin has one of these experiences when he almost dies in the store fire he accidentally started while trying to dispose of some pornography. The angelic woman he meets on the other side says that in the light its "like Yale University". She is seen reading from a book first, and Yale is Kevins dream college, so its most likely meant to be an optimal experience for the departed. However, Kevin is resuscitated in the hospital before he has passed into the light.

The Cy-Bugs in Wreck-It Ralph are programmed to be drawn towards a beacon whenever their game is reset, in a manner very reminiscent of bugs being drawn to a bug-zapper. The first time is Played for Laughs while the second time is Played for Drama. This trope is also King Candy's/Turbo's last words when he flies into a beacon made of volcanic Diet Cola.

When the protagonists of Supernatural dispatch hostile ghosts (usually with fire) the spirits appear to be in pain before they disappear; however, in the episode "Road Kill," a woman who didn't realize she was dead decides to move on once she is told the truth and performs a classic fade into the light.
Then in the season finale, their father, having dragged himself out of hell to save his sons also gets a Go Into The Light moment.

Forever Knight: A flashback to when Nicholas was brought across showed that after his blood was drained by LaCroix, he saw a veiled woman standing in a glowing doorway. LaCroix then called on Nicholas to turn away from the light and return to him, while the veiled woman offers him the choice of going on to the Afterlife, or returning to Earth to live as a vampire. He chose the latter and ends up regretting it. That week's Flatline Plotline involved Nicholas recreating his near-death experience to see if the other choice is still an option or if he's eternally damned.

This trope is invoked in Silent Hill 4, where Henry has to crawl a long tunnel (and we do mean long) towards the light to escape his apartment...except the "light" leads to the Dark World. When he enters the hole to return to the (relative) safety of his apartment, you see the tunnel-crawling sequence in reverse.

The X-Files: In "Lazurus", the villain of the week is shot during a bank robbery only to come back from the dead in someone else's body. Mulder and Scully have a discussion on the trope, and the robber also mentions it when he shoots his lover and partner-in-crime after she betrays him.

The Swedish comic Herman Hedning had a storyline where Herman asks God to kill him, because he heard a story about the afterlife where you pass through a tunnel into a warm, embracing light. God agrees, but tells Herman that the warm embrace at the end of the tunnel isn't light, before dropping him into a giant toilet.

Borderlands:
Invoked with General Knoxx-trap's second death in the final Borderlands DLC, where he says "I've heard your entire life flashes before your eyes when you die...that's a load of crap...no wait...okay, there it goes." to be followed up and averted, sadly, with "No, that's just the sun. Shit."
Borderlands3 references the trope with achievement "Stay Away From the Light", by reviving another player.

Toyed with in the first Casper film: Ghosts cross over as soon as they've completed their "unfinished business." However, the title character's unfinished business is resurrecting himself; he'll never cross over unless he succeeds, then dies again. The Big Bad, however, makes the mistake of declaring her unfinished business to be just obtaining the resurrection formula, not using it, so she goes into the light as soon as she gets the bottle, leaving it behind.

Parodied in One Piece, albeit with a variation: when Vivi and Usopp get caught in an avalanche, the latter has a near-death experience and says he sees a beautiful world with beautiful trees and a beautiful river. A panicked Vivi tells him not to go into that world, and ends up slapping the ever-living crap out of him to wake him up. During the scene, Usopp notices Zoro swimming inside the beautiful river. After Vivi wakes him up, they immediately find Zoro afterward who was also caught in that avalance. Zoro saw the same beautiful world as Usopp did.

Subverted and toyed with in the TV show Dead Like Me where the dead each get their own special send-off to the afterlife, different for each person. It (whether it's a place, a ledge, a person beckoning) looks to the audience and reapers as being made up of lights. Once the dead person enters/joins the lights, the form they took flashes out and the lights scatter and speed off (usually UP).

Happens to Empath twice in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf:
In "Smurfing In Heaven", Empath believes that he has died when Smurfette appears to him in an angelic form to tell him that not only have the Smurfs died, but also he has died. He and Smurfette both rise from the ground, drawn to a bright light in the sky which they enter, which turns out to be gateway to Elysium, the Smurf version of heaven. It is later revealed that Empath actually hasn't died and was experiencing a magical afterlife illusion created by Ares, the god of war.
In "The Smurf Village Revival", Empath is having an out-of-body experience where he finds himself traveling the world to enter into the light. The appearance of Traveler Smurf stops Empath from going in.

Subverted and discussed on Criminal Minds. Morgan dismisses the typical "bright light and shadowy figures" fantasy by saying that the light is that of an ER operating room, and the figures are doctors, but then Reid points out that he saw the same thing when he "died" and Tobias Hankel resuscitated him, despite not being in a hospital. Prentiss, on the other hand, coded in an ambulance and experienced darkness and coldness instead of light and warmth.

In PVRIS' music video for “White Noise�, Lynn, a ghost, ends up going through a door with a bright light behind it, implying she's moving on. Unfortunately, Brian and Alex, two living guys, happen to be investigating her ghostly-ness as this was happening and end up going through it, too.

Pokémon: The Series:
In a Japanese radio drama, Jessie and James' characters are stuck in space and low on oxygen. As Jessie dies, she notes a pretty light.
Getting glimpses under Mimikyu's disguise leads to Meowth having several near death experiences; he's only prevented from going into the light by Jesse and James shaking him awake.

In The Fountain, all three lives/versions of Tom experience looking upward into a tunnel of bright light: Tommy the doctor looks up into a skylight filled with snow right before the lights go out, whereupon it cuts to Tom the astronaut looking up into the exploding nebula, whereupon it cuts to Tomas the conquistador looking up into the literal tunnel of light after ingesting the sap of the Tree of Life, whereupon he dies and becomes one with the tree.

Parodied/Subverted in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door; a ghost is surrounded by a column of light after you solve the business binding him to this plane, but then he decides to stick around for a while.
Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling For Me pulls this off after sending away the ghost with much drama.
This also happens in an episode of Sgt. Frog to the ghost girl that lives in the Hinata home.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: During the musical episode, Buffy is trying to draw what the afterlife was like, since she was dead over the summer break and brought back at the start of the new season. She ends up drawing a white light in the middle of a black darkness because that is all her limited human experience and knowledge can equate it to.

Plays a large part in the film The Frighteners. The protagonist has the ability to see ghosts, and when people die, their spirits are immediately pulled to the afterlife by a bright blue light. However, the spirits can actually refuse to go to the light and exist on earth as ghosts. They only way they can ascend to the afterlife then is to either wait for a certain period of time for the light to return, or be "killed" by another ghost. The light plays a large role in defeating the malevolent spirit of a serial killer.

Averted in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Coda". After apparently dying in a shuttle crash, a Psychopomp encourages to give up on death and go into the light. Janeway is suspicious and doesn't go which is just as well, as he's an alien that feeds on Life Energy (Janeway being Not Quite Dead). The whole thing was later compared to the Earth parable of "the spider and the fly".

In the The Sopranos episode "Mayham", Tony Soprano—comatose after a shooting—dreams that he's going to a family reunion. He's greeted at the door by his dead cousin, who urges him to hand over his briefcase (despite his protest that "my whole life's in here") and go into the party, in a white building behind him. As he approaches the door, the inside of the house becomes a white blur — but he hears his family calling him to come back, refuses to hand over the briefcase, and wakes up on the hospital bed.
