Heaven was the inverse of Hell, a region of the afterlife which could normally only be entered by good, virtuous souls, and the stronghold of angels. It could euphemistically be referred to as “Up There”, and it was reputed to be extremely pleasant.
According to at least one Christian hymn, Jesus Christ had “come down from Heaven” to incarnate on Earth. (COMIC: The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)
In Reality Z-25 31-H, Armstrong Fatbuckle did not qualify for entry into Heaven upon his death, but after he was awarded an impromptu second chance by gaining a new existence as a living skeleton, he began to wonder what Heaven was like. He resolved to begin to do good deeds in the hope of being allowed to see what Heaven looked like (though he did not necessarily seem to want to take up residence there). (COMIC: Enter–the Legion of Light!)
In one universe, Heaven was where most angels resided. Aziraphale, an angel who resided on Earth on a permanent basis, believed that he was no longer welcome there after his part in the foiling of the Apocalypse, although he had not officially fallen. (PROSE: You've Been To Eden, I Perceive)
