(This comes with spoilers for American Gods. I have no idea if the show will follow the exact same events as the book, but here's your warning. As a reminder, you can opt-out of spoilers here.)

Shadow's memorial will be a Norse-looking thing with a rather conspicuous absence of a first name (it'll literally be a big blank spot), though it will display the rest of his name and possibly a picture. There will be 3 options for experiencing Shadow's death.

OPTION 1: Congratulations! You'll be tied to a tree and hang there for nine days, completely naked, until you die from exposure. Enjoy the hallucinations, mania, visits from a few gods, and a last moment with your undead, visibly rotting wife!

OPTION 2: Welcome to the world between life and death! Here, you'll get to meet some neat Egyptian gods. You'll also get to endure the agony of having your entire life's worth of flaws, failings, weaknesses, and sins dragged out and examined. Hope you enjoy being reduced to a sobbing child! Later, you'll get to choose where you want to go — and you'll choose not heaven, not hell, but nothing, because you just want it to end.

OPTION 3: Ohhhh, lucky you! You get a combination of both 1 & 2! Have fun! :)

Shadow won't be trying to destroy his memorial, but he may wind up sitting by it to be like 'heyyyyy don't do it brah' if people are trying to leave offerings. He'll be willing to just tell the overly curious how he died, bc srsly why would you want to experience it. 8( That said, it'll totally be possible to get by him.
