This study investigates the digital afterlife as a set of tools and practices that reconfigure how the dead are remembered and how personhood is understood. The aim is to construct a theological-ethical framework that distinguishes admissible forms of digital memory from impermissible simulations of personal presence. Hypothesis: if posthumous digital services are evaluated through Orthodox theological discernment—especially the distinction between hypostatic personhood and liturgical commemoration — only archival and memorial uses with transparent data governance can be considered permissible, whereas generative «voices» inevitably manufacture a false sense of presence and intensify spiritual and ethical risks. Methodologically, the study combines a comparative reading of contemporary literature in digital ethics and law with a theological-anthropological reconstruction of key concepts and a case-based analysis of representative, literature-documented religious and social practices. The contribution lies in integrating a liturgical perspective with post-mortem data governance regimes and deriving testable rules for service design and deployment. The study’s relevance follows from the rapid institutionalization of the death-tech industry and the growing demand for pastoral and legal guidance. The analysis shows that archival formats and memorial platforms may serve as ancillary instruments under conditions of informed consent, algorithmic transparency, and time-limited operation. By contrast, simulated agents (griefbots, post-mortem avatars) do not extend personal identity and are incompatible with Christian hope in the resurrection; they produce only a statistically plausible voice. Minimum safeguards are proposed: the family’s right to terminate a service and erase data, a publicly available accountability framework, and a ban on presenting imitation as a person’s own speech. The findings support ecclesial practice, expert evaluation, and interdisciplinary research by demarcating cultural remembrance from pseudo-eschatological projects and indicating directions for further empirical validation.
