Minato also recalled his part in helping Naruto suppress Kurama against Pain too, so there's that. Not to mention Kakashi and Sakumo both died, and they were able to talk to one another. You may not believe in a literal afterlife (which is a topic I shall not debate on this site), but this is a fictional universe. Your views of the real world don't apply here. At all.
