How Facebook manages your data after you die

What happens when a deceased person's account is memorialized?

When a person passes away, we memorialize their account to protect their privacy. Here are some of the key features of memorialized accounts:
  • No one can log into a memorialized account and no new friends can be accepted
  • Depending on the privacy settings of the deceased person's account, friends can share memories on the memorialized timeline
  • Anyone can send private messages to the deceased person
  • Content the deceased person shared (ex: photos, posts) remains on Facebook and is visible to the audience it was shared with
  • Memorialized timelines don't appear in People You May Know and other suggestions
