I’m dead now, so what happens to my Facebook?

Once dead, will you really care how your memorialized?  If so, no worries – Facebook has that all figured out.

Chances are when you die, Facebook will be the first place people whom knew you will look.  If you’re someone special, the press might even check it out as well.  Other than leaving your login credentials in your will, what is the best option available to friends and family via Facebook?

Memorializing Accounts

When a user passes away, we memorialize their account to protect their privacy. Memorializing an account removes certain sensitive information (e.g., status updates and contact information) and sets privacy so that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it in search. The Wall remains so that friends and family can leave posts in remembrance. Memorializing an account also prevents all login access to it.

Please report this information here so that we can memorialize this person’s account. Memorializing the account removes certain more sensitive information like status updates and restricts profile access to confirmed friends only. Please note that in order to protect the privacy of the deceased user, we cannot provide login information for the account to anyone. We do honor requests from close family members to close the account completely.

If someone in your famiy has passed on and you wish to have that account closed permanently, you can do that as well.  Facebook has stated that they will honor requests from close family members to close the account completely.
