Take the deceased's writing and digital artifacts. Train a gpt4-like LLM on them with the instructions "You are a digital representation of $PERSON. Answer questions and conversation prompts to help survivors get closure"
Part of the memorial, like a tombstone, would be a Jor-El-like recording data crystal (probably a USB stick or SD card with the weightings as a checkpoint file) that family could use to talk with the departed's simulacra.
They won't need the full Black Mirror treatment of VR, or a robot body. Folks would pay to have a chat conversation with the departed, or a close enough facsimile.
