idk if I'd call it weird, but...elves are immortal unless they're killed physically (ok that part is weird) in battle, they don't die of old age but can give up their souls willingly under certain grief-stricken parameters. If they "die" their souls just hang out in Mandos (part of Aman, the god-ruled area of the west). Humans die, their souls wait somewhere until the end of the world. In the all of two cases where an elf and a mortal got together (please ignore the Hobbit movies that was stupid) it was left to them and their offspring whether they'd be mortal or immortal - that is, subject to death by old age or not.

Souls weren't different so much as they had differing destinations for the purgatory-level age which Tolkien, a devout Catholic, had no easy final plan to cover. He intended Middle-Earth to be a fantasy version of England but everything broke down over time, including his own Catholic beliefs mapped onto elves and men. There was still supposed to be a final end of the world apocalypse in which the souls of men and elves were reunieted in god's only real final destination, but since that was supposed to be the "future" of our own world, it was never described nor planned.
