It there any conceivable way nanomachines could turn a brain into a semi-organic grey goo, preserving the individual's consciousness?

I'm working on a scenario operating on Clarke's Third Law, with nanotechnology percieved as magic to humanity, and I want to create a non-spiritual afterlife for humanity. My intention was to simply have the nanomachines encase the neurons, reconnecting them with artificial synapses or nano-scale transmitters. Unfortunately, this handwaves several points. Besides the usual issue of a stable power source, as well as scaling a transmitter that small, there's the more pressing issue of what the nanomachines would need to preserve the neuron for future "reincarnation" into a synthetic body, with consciousness during the grey goo stage is ultimately unimportant.
