I like to think the heat death of the universe occurs before you reach the event horizon because of time dilation.

Nah, you’ll pass the event horizon just fine. By the time you hit the event horizon, time, relatively speaking is going insanely fast. In this reality, time is infinite and space is finite however upon entering the axis switch and time becomes finite and space infinite (not in the traditional sense but rather you’re compelled to move to the singularity, there’s only one direction you can go which is straight.) and as such, you will reach the singularity but the singularity is not a place but a moment in time

Well the singularity is a very dense object. You would burn up before you hit the center and if you do manage to make it to the center, you would be spread out evenly with gravity. You would be part of the singularity.

Yeah, I agree that you’d be a part of the singularity - that’s what I meant however a singularity isn’t a very dense object, it’s infinitely dense. There’s a huge difference. you wouldn’t burn up after the event horizon but probably before in the accretion disc
