Social media is rarely one of the things people consider at the end of their lives or when a loved one passes away, but Facebook has created a world of memorialization settings and Facebook pages that belong to those that are no longer with us.
These Memorialization settings help determine what happens to your Facebook account when you pass on. This video will help you set up settings for yourself and memorialize a page for someone else.
At the end of your life, it may be nice to leave behind a sort of online memorial to yourself. Facebook provides you with the following two options.
1. Set a “Legacy Contact,” someone who will manage your Facebook page after you’re gone. A Legacy Contact can accept friend requests, change cover and profile photos, and post tribute messages.
2. Delete your Facebook account completely. This is different from deactivation and means that all traces of your account will be removed from Facebook’s servers permanently.
A legacy contact is someone you choose to look after your account if it's memorialized after you've passed away. If you add a legacy contact, that person will be able to make decisions about your account once it is memorialized.
Your legacy contact can:
1. Write a pinned post for your profile (example: to share a final message on your behalf or provide information about a memorial service).
2. View posts, even if you had set your privacy to Only Me.
3. Decide who can see and who can post tributes, if the memorialized account has an area for tributes.
4. Delete tribute posts.
5. Change who can see posts that you're tagged in.
6. Remove tags of you that someone else has posted.
7. Respond to new friend requests (example: old friends or family members who weren't yet on Facebook). Keep in mind that if you were added as a legacy contact after your loved one passed away, you won't able to respond to new friend requests.
8. Update your profile picture and cover photo.
Request the removal of your account.
9. Turn off the requirement to review posts and tags before they appear in the tributes section if you had timeline review turned on.
10. Download a copy of what you've shared on Facebook if you have this feature turned on.
