Vincent Barry's Philosophical Thinking About Death and Dying is a good first source for an accessible discussion of some of the relevant issues. It will also give you some suggestions for further reading.

These two anthologies have some relevant essays:

Life, Death, and Meaning edited by David Benatar.

Philosophy and Death edited by Robert Stainton and Samantha Brennan.

And one recent book on the subject is Mark Johnston's Surviving Death.

I'm sure that others will chime in with more suggestions for you, but I hope that these can get you started.
