In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.
Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").
The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.
Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."

Explanation:
The direct object is the noun that receives the action performed by the verb. It answers the question of who or what. In the first question, if we ask the question, "Who do the Chinese honor?" The answer will be, "their ancestors". For the second question, if we also ask what families do to keep away bad luck, the answer will be to clean their homes. ]
An indirect object receives the action performed by the direct object. The action is performed to or for the indirect object. Who do people give red envelopes filled with money? Answer: to the children. Who do families wish fortune, health, and happiness? Answer: to their relatives.
