Life after death is found in Hinduism, the Atmans are taken by Yama then they are judged and go either to heaven (abode of Indra) or to hell (abode of Yama), however this residence is temporarily and not eternal then they will reincarnate again at the end.
Can gods like Yama and his assistants have bodies while the judged Humans are just Atmans without bodies?
So, the question is: Do gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Indra and Yama, in their Lokas, have bodies or are they just Atmans?
Do gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Indra and Yama, in their Lokas, have bodies or are they just Atmans?
Yes they have bodies according to the Brahma Sutras.
Ramanujacharya in his Sri Bhashya says:
The devas, from Brahma downward, possess a body and sense-organs, is declared in all the Upanishads.
...
The dharmasâstras, itihâsas, and purânas also, which are founded on the different brâhmanas, mantras and arthavâdas, clearly teach that Brahma and the other gods, as well as the Asuras and other superhuman beings, have bodies and sense-organs, constitutions of different kinds, different abodes, enjoyments, and functions.
The gods have a body.

Then all the illustrious dwellers in heaven went in a body unto him of a hundred sacrifices and thousand eyes, viz., their chief, that grinder of Asuras.
People in Naraka have to have bodies, because some of the names of the Narakas imply eating something like Krimibhakṣa (worms) or Śvabhojana (dogs). You could argue they mean eaten by the thing, but that would also mean a body. It does not really make sense for souls to need food by themselves.
