Currently, I'm spinning around Vector Art (probably because I find it a nice neutral balance between being too humorous and being too dark/serious):

Why?

• it's a modern, light style, which when done right doesn't come of as humorous
• it's relatively easily to make in Illustrator 
• would focus more on celebrating a deceased person's memories instead of grieving

Why not?

•  It is a widely used style - it could come off as unoriginal and mainstream
• It could look weird if I include photos of real people

 and a Futuristic Visual language:

Why?

• the idea is strongly connecting to what will happen in the future
• the futuristic style has something electronic/techy/digital to it

Why not?

• might come off as too cold
• might be too unpersonal (it is after all about someones memories)
