Brok does not get an afterlife because when he died the second time, there was no afterlife for him, as he’s just gone, and this is why Sindri snaps at the end of Ragnarok. This is due to Sindri only being able to retrieve three out of four parts of Brok’s soul when he died the first time, resulting in Brok being unable to have a complete soul and thus being denied an afterlife.
