  Flash (Barry Allen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barry Allen is a fictional character, a superhero in the DC Comics universe and the second Flash.

Barry Allen was the Flash in the 1990s Flash live-action TV series, although this character incorporated elements of Wally's personality and social life, as well as previously non-existent characters such as a brother and nephew.

Thus, Allen is processing an “actual philosophy”, which does not focus on the presence of a form that makes a thing knowable, but on the form’s integral involvement in the history-making of human civilization.
Although Allen is not convinced that “language is the ultimate context” for understanding knowledge, he is certain “that we enjoy no direct, intuitive, spontaneous, unmediated cognitive contact with anything.
Allen concludes the book drawing considerations from evolutionary biology, anthropology, archeology, history of cities, art and technology, in order to show that life in cities-therefore civilization-is a choice we acted on for the past 5,000 years, and which recalls that every city has “an architectural actuality” or “urban net” that continues to determine our future.

 The religion of The Flash (Barry Allen), JLA
Barry Allen was the Silver Age super-hero known as The Flash, one of the most famous and popular superheroes in the DC Comics universe.
Barry Allen's identity as a scientist was an important part of his character, and he often relied on his scientific acumen in thwarting his flamboyant foes.
On another subject, Barry Allen died before the various DC Universe speedster characters were tied more solidly to the quasi-mystical extradimensional energy force known as the "Speed Force." This concept, including its implications for an afterlife for DC speedsters, was not introduced until the mid-1990s in the pages of The Flash.

 OAFE - DC Direct Barry Allen Flash review
Barry Allen is the first offical saint of the DC Universe, having sacrificed himself to help save the universe during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Yes, Barry has the same display stand as the rest of the figures in this line, but his peg hole is in the toes of the foot that's raising up, and there's no hole in the other foot, so one tiny peg has to support the entire weight of a figure in an extreme pose.
Barry Allen proves that a beloved comic character can be dead and still have good stories told about him - a lesson that Green Arrow and Green Lantern fans should have learned.

However, when Barry Allen pushed himself further (while imploding the Anti-Monitor's chief weapon during the Crisis on Infinite Earths) he appeared to waste away as he was converted into pure speed energy, travelled back in time, and was revealed to be the very bolt of lightning that gave him his powers.

 Marty Blevins - Writer's Blog - The Flash - Barry Allen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Like many of us, Barry received a significant amount of his sense of right and wrong from the four-color pages of a comic book - where justice prevailed and evil was punished.
Barry was a gifted scientist with a mind for problem-solving in an age where science was king.
The gift of speed that Barry received that day did not make the man - did not change the man. His gift was an extension of himself - a tool to be used in service of justice.

 DC brought back Barry Allen... in a sneaky way. - Page 2 - The Comic Bloc Forums
Barry (with Iris) could conceiveably move back to the past at some point, take over the mantle of the Flash again for several years, and then eventually return to the future.
Barry would have got to enjoy the life of his wife and kids, his grandson, his grand-daughter (if XS still exists), and meet with his friends (Hal, Ollie, etc...) more often.
My understanding is that Barry has to travel to the past (or at that time the present) when the crisis happened before the Anti- monitor considered him a problem.

During the Crisis On Infinite Earths, Barry Allen surpassed the speed of light, entering the Speed Force and joining his essence with the source of his powers.
Seemed Barry had made a time travel trip we never knew about during his final battle with Professor Zoom, the same fight that ended in the Professor’s death and which occurred months before the Crisis even began.
With Gruenwald's Omniverse Barry could have crossed the barriers between one universe and another quite easily between the time that Barry started his run around the Cannon, the times he leapt back and forth through DC history and DC future, and that moment where he went skeletal and died.

 Where’s Barry?
Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, has been called “DC’s first official saint.” He died saving the entire universe, after all, and to avoid cheapening that sacrifice he is likely to be one of the few comic book characters whose death will actually stick.
The Terminal Velocity storyline (Flash #95–100, 1994–1995) established the idea of the Speed Force as a “Valhalla for speedsters”—it was strongly implied that Barry had joined with the source of his power and the spirits of speedsters from throughout the ages.
The story of Barry merging with the Speed Force is told in JLA Incarnations #5 (2001), an issue devoted to the Justice League’s part in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

 Barry Allen, question - The Comic Bloc Forums
Actually Barry escaped to the future and isn't coming back to our time until he knows DiDio is no longer at DC.
Why should we think that Barry is dead, rather than just hanging out in the speed force, vibrated to another dimension/time, etc. His abandoned costume and ring, and the images that some heroes saw (COIE) doesn't mean he is dead...
Barry also asked in this letter that Wally not come and look for him, that he (Barry) was very happy in the Old West and had set himself up as a flsmith/forensic scientist.

I guess the only question without an answer is whether Barry Allen himself had a funeral as well, meaning, for his civilian identity (keep in mind he was declared a missing person after the whole Professor Zoom affair, not dead).
I recall two times Barry's tombstone was shown- The first time happened in Flash #18 (11/88, written by Messner-Loebs), when Vandal Savage hid a kidnapped baby in Barry's grave and Wally ran for the rescue.
Anyway, Barry's tombstone has a Flash insignia on it- meaning, everyone knew it was the Flash that was buried there.
