Where is ignorance, and why does it not end with death? Where is ignorance, and why does it not end with death? Can we experience it? Does it have to be actively conditioning formations for us to experience it, or can we know this nidana even when freed from it?

I'm interested in an answer from any tradition.
Ignorance includes self-view. Similarly, "death", being the idea "a being" or "a person" dies, is also a self-view. Since "death" is a self-view, the idea/mental construct of "death" cannot end ignorance. 

When there is no self-view, there is no ignorance and there is also no idea of "death", as follows: 


  Bhikkhu, ‘I am’ is a conceiving; ‘I am this’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall
  be’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall not be’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be
  possessed of form’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be formless’ is a
  conceiving; ‘I shall be percipient’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be
  non-percipient’ is a conceiving; ‘I shall be
  neither-percipient-nor-non-percipient’ is a conceiving. Conceiving is
  a disease, conceiving is a tumour, conceiving is a dart. By overcoming
  all conceivings, bhikkhu, one is called a sage at peace. And the sage
  at peace is not born, does not age, does not die....

Therefore, the 'Deathless' can end ignorance but 'death' cannot end ignorance.
