No, you cannot use a dead family member's identity to vote in a Presidential election. You would need valid identification such as a driver's license or passport, as well as the family member’s death certificate, in order to convince the poll worker.

It depends on the state. Using a dead family member's identity to vote is not recommended and would most likely lead to fraud charges. You will need to show an official document such as a birth or death certificate, as well as proof of your relationship with the deceased person such as a copy of their will or other documents proving that you are who you say you are. If you cannot provide sufficient evidence then the poll worker will not allow you to vote under that person's identity.
