Tutorial: How To Set Your Facebook Account to Remember You Upon Your Death
This might sound weird right, but trust me preparing well
ahead for this doesn’t mean you are negative or you fear
death. No, not all. The reality is when you die, it is better
leaving a legacy behind, and in a modern internet age, what
online legacy are you leaving behind? How do you want your
Facebook friends to remember you when you are gone? Not a
fetched answer though. It is quite fortunate Facebook takes
the stress off you by presenting you with two options: either
you choose to delete your account upon your death, or
preferably have it commemorate you.
So when you memorialize your account (that is set it to
commemorate you), you will now trust someone to ensure
your account is curated in your eternal absence.
So when you memorialize your account, it gives your friends
as well as your family to once in a while assemble together
and enjoy memories of you. Now this is how it works:
Your name will now be presented with the tag “Remembering”
fixed closely to it.
And in the case your privacy settings allows it, friends will
have the capacity of sharing memories on your Timeline.
This way anything you had shared in the time past will still be
seen by the intended audience.
When you memorialize your profile, it will not show publicly in
spots like advertisements or even birthday reminders or other
segments like People You May Know suggestions.
This way no one will be able to log into your account as it will
be basically locked.
So in the case where you are the single administrator of a
page, it will be deleted in the instance where Facebook gets a
validated request.
Now if you are serious about setting your account to
memorialize you, it will be necessary you install someone as a
“legacy contact”. This person can be a family member or even
generally friend, so long you can trust them to carry out your
instructions when you are gone.
So to go about setting a legacy contact, you will first have to
open the Settings clicking on “Security” then “Legacy Contact”.
Alright, what you need now is say appoint a friend in the
capacity of your legacy contact.
But be reminded that your legacy contact will be unable to
assume these duties till they formally memorialize your
account. Someone must request this for you when you are
gone.
Facebook will ask for data like your name, the date of death,
and sometimes some sort of formal validation in the kind of
your death certificate. So when these gets to Facebook, your
accounts gets memorialized, and your legacy account will be
notified they can now administer your account.
