Well, yes we know what happens to them, but no we don't know what happens to them.
We know that Hobbits are little humans with furry feet so they go to Mandos when they die, just like all other men. What happens when they leave Mandos is anybody's guess.

Quite. They go to Mandos, then they leave Mandos. They leave Arda, but then what happens?
Nobody really knows, but some people like to think that they go to a sort of Heaven to be with Eru. I don't know if I exactly accept that idea, but it isn't so bad. What we know is that they go to Mandos, and then they Leave. After that I suppose it's up to you to suppose about what happens. But while its fun to suppose, keep in mind that what you come up with won't win you any arguments. [ November 12, 2002: Message edited by: burrahobbit ]

Men leave Ea, that's all we know. I believe in a kind of heaven-like existence, but then I don't believe in the stereotypical heaven... I don't mean a big white room full of people or anything, but I am sure that dead men are close to Eru, and as such in the fabric of what is beyond Ea. They, in my opinion, will enjoy an existence slightly like that of the Ainur at first, but different in many ways 'cause they aren't Ainur.

I think that hobbits go to a little farm in the sky, or somewhere near Tol Eressea, where they eta and drink and have parties all day, and the rest of the time they write books and plough fields with little winged donkeys.

That was just his mood that day. He had been reading Schopenhauer, you see.
