You can't *prove* that the victim went to Hell - so it ought not to be that difficult for the family to get a restraining order preventing the use of the victim's name and details...

Well, politically, this whole thing WON'T happen. However, assuming it did, the family would sue for libel (written words, slander is spoken). Now, you are right in saying the "truth" defense would not apply as one cannot prove this. However, the plaintiff would have a darned difficult time proving damages -- and without damages/harm there is no recovery.
