1. A device for memorializing a loved one, comprising:
an outer shell comprising a first material, the outer shell defined by an outer surface and an inner surface;
an inner cavity enclosed by the outer shell;
a heartbeat pattern output generator disposed within the inner cavity and configured to:
generate a tactile heartbeat pattern output based on a heartbeat pattern representing at least one physiological characteristic of a loved one; and
cause the tactile heartbeat pattern output to be reproduced at the outer surface of the outer shell when a user interacts with the outer shell; and
a sensor configured to:
detect the user interaction with the outer shell; and
cause, in response to detecting the user interaction with the outer shell, the heartbeat pattern output generator to generate the tactile heartbeat pattern output to be reproduced at the outer surface of the outer shell.
