Put two bags in the attic with a slide to the basement. If he is going to heaven he gets the bags on the way up, if he is going to hell, a trip wire under the bed will send the bags to the basement he can pick up on the way down.

ah, but if you want to make that work, you'd need to know if the speed that the deceased have when going to hell is lower than the terminal velocity of a bag of money.

nah, a scientist wouldn't assume 2pillows of cash travel down a slide at constant terminal velocity

I wen't with the assumption that hell would be deep down enough, and the speed slow enough, that the short period where it isn't at terminal velocity is negligible.

But I am indeed not a scientist.

to be fair, trying to build the slide all the way down to hell directly, instead of just the basement, adds a whole nother lot of problems :P

And in that case, wouldn't it be better for the deceased to be FASTER, not slower? So they arrive before the money and no other hell-inhabitant steals it.

Sorry, i just couldn't resist nitpicking even more. It's what will send me towards hell, i guess

I'm assuming that the spirit or soul of the deceased ascends or descends either straight up or straight down, depending on going to Heaven or Hell. The money pillows need to be within grabbing distance at the time the spirit is passing. The pillows can not be sent to the other realm, only brought.
