Personally, I've had that near death out of body experience, and can say, that while I had audio and visual senses, they were very different than what I'd experienced before, or what I've experienced since. It's hard to explain, but everything seemed to have an electric field, visually and audibly, radiant light and a hum, but everything was crystal clear, no matter how distant. The strangest feeling however, was the complete emotional disconnection. One second it was shear terror, then nothing. Complete calm, while I witnessed pandemonium, then terror again as I came to.
Has led me to believe that there is more beyond this, and when we're able to disconnect, we move on to another level of existence. Though as a completely different self.

This is where I'm not necessarily against the idea that it could be a thing, just that if it is, we're way off base with it. The idea that we'll "see" family members or pets sounds delightful, but the whole idea is conveniently human. If there is anything, I would assume it would be more like what you describe.
I do find it interesting that most experiences tend to fall in line with whatever that person happens to believe. Hindus mysteriously tap into previous lives, Christians see deceased family members, and atheists don't often report anything.
