Halakhah for Shabbat 303:13

(קהלת יב, ה) כי הולך האדם אל בית עולמו א"ר יצחק מלמד שכל צדיק וצדיק נותנין לו מדור לפי כבודו משל למלך שנכנס הוא ועבדיו לעיר כשהן נכנסין כולן בשער אחד נכנסין כשהן לנין כל אחד ואחד נותנין לו מדור לפי כבודו

'he commanded; and it did stand' — this refers to children. A Tanna taught: Though a woman be as a pitcher full of filth and her mouth be full of blood, yet all speed after her. Because man goeth to his long home.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Eccl. XII, 5. ');"><sup>34</sup></span> R. Isaac observed: This teaches that every righteous person is given a habitation as befits his honour. This may be compared to a king who enters a town together with his servants. They all enter through the same gate, [yet] when they spend the night [there] each is given a lodging as befits his honour.

Sefer HaChinukh

And that which they said there that the one who is completely righteous in judgement is sealed immediately for life in the World To Come. Do not think that the World To Come is something that is identical for all righteous people; for in that life there are countless gradations, and each righteous person rises to the fitting level according to his reward (See Shabbat 152a). And the rest of the details about these matters are there in the first chapter of Rosh Hashanah (see Tur, Orach Chaim 602-603).
