I've seen estates keep email and Facebook pages alive for ancestors.
My work for the Oversight Committee of my local Meeting (religious)
has been to get those questions added to our "Wishes Upon Death" form
(i.e. what shall we do with your Flickr Photostream?  Most would want
theirs kept alive I expect).

"Deceased" needs to be just one more status on Facebook, akin to "in a
relationship".

As for Arthur's code, I think it's a time capsule for a future time
when the set of those into projective geometry (ala Klein), and the
set of those into Python (ala us), is not so close to the null set.

The way the Venn Diagrams look today, it appears some trend towards
hyper-specialization brought us close to the brink.   Good thing we've
reversed that trend, and not a moment too soon.
