So sorry for your loss. Memorializing your son in this way is so very lovely. Here are some DIY water features that are reasonable. You can personalize these with a plaque or engraved stone marker to give tribute to your son.

My sincerest condolences. There a number of options for a water feature. Some have to have a water source, but some can recycle water you put in a reservoir. If you have something suitable for the fountain - even a bird bath would do - water pumps are pretty inexpensive and you can get pumps that run on batteries. These are a bit more expensive, but cheaper than running special electric lines, etc. I think the bird bath would be nice and attract song birds to the site as a bonus. Blessings.
So sorry for your loss. Not sure where you want to have the fountain but I found this really pretty one that can be installed on an outside wall.
So sorry for your loss... parents are not supposed to outlive their children.. you will be in my prayers.
Pinterest.com or DIYnetwork.com or HGTV.com should have a lot of ideas for you for building a water fountain or water feature... from a simple bubbler to a 'rain" curtain to a fish or lily pond... any of which could be accomplished for a relatively low materials cost and depending on how much physical labor you want to commit.... what ever you choose... plant a beautiful rose (or other blooming plant or tree) next to or near the feature... every time it blooms... you will know all is okay
