No. A rainbow is nothing more than light refracting and dispersing through tiny drops of water in the atmosphere. A rainbow appearing after someone died only means it was raining prior to their death, nothing more.

Saying a rainbow signifies somebody gaining access to "heaven" is akin to saying you found your car keys after praying to God - nonsense.

Lol. Next he'll be saying that shooting stars are nothing more than rocks falling from outer space.

Everybody knows that shooting stars are a sign of God's blessing.

I thought shooting stars meant that you will hear of a death.

Close, but technically they are meteors burning up as they enter the Earth's upper atmosphere at high velocity. But hey, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one

No, it is a sign that the living friends and family of the departed, are looking for ways to console themselves. Does it always rain nearby before good people die? No rain, no rainbows.

A rainbow over the house is just an arch of colors formed in the sky in certain circumstances, caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by rain or other water droplets in the atmosphere.
