In Devise, I'm signing in my user like this:
sign_in_and_redirect(:user, user)
In the default sign in page, there's a checkbox that the user can select so that they don't have to sign in again when they return to the site. But when you do the sign in with the sign_in_and_redirect(:user, user) line, I can't work out how to set that parameter to yes. Does anyone know how? Thanks for reading.

Devise stores some information in the database ( last_sign_in_at , last_sign_in_ip , etc.), but relies on cookies to simulate stateful session consistency overtime. The cookie has a "TTL" or time to live, and that cookie is written to the browser when "remember me" is checked.
Rememberable manages generating and clearing token for remembering the user from a saved cookie. Rememberable also has utility methods for dealing with serializing the user into the cookie and back from the cookie, trying to lookup the record based on the saved information.
Did some testing. Presenting the findings for others.
The simplest solution, assuming the user object has the rememberable module defined on the devise declarable, is to set remember_me to true on the user before sign in and redirect:
@user.remember_me = true
sign_in_and_redirect(@user, :event => :authentication)
current_user.remember_me!

Note that this only updates the remember_created_at value of the user record. But for this to work correctly, a validation token also needs to be stored in the Devise cookie. To achieve both these things, follow Dmytrii's advise and user the remember_me <USER> controller method instead:
include Devise::Controllers::Rememberable
...
remember_me <USER_OBJECT>
