What ceses when you become an Arahat is Perception and Feelings. (Sanna Vedana Nirodha) The mind is dependent on Perception and Feelings hence the mindd also stop functioning.
The mind ceases when you are in Phala Samapatti and Nirvana as the object. When you come out of it an Arahat's mind starts to function again but the difference is that a Arahat does not have roots and Citta which have roots doe not occur in an Arahat, hence does not create any new Karma.
As mentioned by others, an Arahat continue to exist due to momentum from past Karma until the end of life.
