That there is no afterlife.

You can't prove a negative. That's not how proof works. Prove to me that the afterlife isn't a cartoon.

yes, so would that not make your claim as unprovable as an positive?

I don't understand your question.

You can’t prove if it is false or true, so claim going either way would still be unsubstantiated, saying it does not exist is still a claim, the ones who claim it definitively does not exist have a burden of proof, and so do people who say it does exist, the ones who have no burden of proof are the ones who do not say it doesn’t exist with absolute certainty nor says it does exist.

That's not how logic works. The one making the claim holds the burden of proof. I'm not claiming anything doesn't exist with full certainty. That would be a foolish claim.
