ABSTRACT
With the rise of new technologies enabling digital immortality as a post-mortem possibility through digital memorials, chatbots and avatars; users can manage their digital legacy and recreate digital lives as well. In this article, we discuss the results from our research using a focus group. During analysis of the focus group transcription, we reflected on key human values that our users manifested during discussion and how important they are in the design of digital immortality systems that understand and respect humans needs in the emotional moment that death provides. This qualitative and quantitative research analyzes these data and proposes research questions and important insights in this area.
