Death is usually portrayed in literature as the ultimate evil or at best relief from pain, but are there any novels that regard death as something desirable, or curious, or transformative?

Pale Horse, Pale Rider by Katherine Anne Porter sort of fits what you're looking for, but its a novella, not a novel.

Tarot interprets Death as transformative.

I think this applies to a lot of eastern religions as well.
