facebook has taken care of this...go to setting" Manage Account Your Legacy Contact A legacy contact is someone you choose to manage your account after you pass away. They'll be able to do things like pin a post on your timeline, respond to new friend requests and update your profile picture. They won't post as you or see your messages. Learn more. Choose a friend Add We'll send your legacy contact an email explaining what this means. You'll also have the option to send them a message right away. They won't be notified again until your account is memorialized." NOW YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER 3 Likes |

I lost my fiance in Benin Ore tanka explosion in 2013. It was a horrible experience and people went to her face book page to send express their pain. The thing was that I helped her set up the account but didn't remember the password, I would have gone to close it. She died in April and her birthday was November... Facebook sent me a reminder and it was like the devil was mocking me. I deleted her account and since then facebook blocked me from anyway I could see her trace on facebook. That's was much much better... Rest in piece my sweet angel. 3 Likes |

Let's take it from a deceased that had a bank account,how does family have an access to his or her account?I think Facebook users should provide account beneficiaries in the event of death. |

Why my wife and kids would have my p/w known to them, including my ATM card's pin. They can easily delete my account and withdraw my dole. |

Two things happen: You can tell Facebook in advance to close your account when you die. But, ofcourse, someone must notify them of your death. You can also designate a "legacy contact" person to keep and update your account, as a caretaker. All this can all be setup under the "security setup" feature of your Facebook account.

Hey, there is a place in the setting where you can choose someone to take care of account or close it when you die. I added my sister in my one. It was funny the day I did it, she got a notification that I have chosen her to take care of my account when I die, the babe rang my phone immediately and pleaded with me not to die, LMAO. I told her to calm down, I'm not going anywhere. I just wanted someone I love and trust to take care of my account when I finally ascend into heaven in 90 years' time. 1 Like |

I think it is possible to give someone access and permission to deactivate your account for you once you are gone. That is if you know when you are going to die. |

Friends should send a message to Facebook informing them of your demise |

Yr profile remains, bt i think it shld b made to deactivate due to non-posting. Atimes i see some ppl still posting 'Happy Birthday' on a dead's profile. D good side abt being active is that some info could be retrieved there |
Re: What Happens To Your Facebook Account After You Die by Apple2: 9:35am On Jul 13, 2018 |
For me? I will want my account to remain active so my great grandchildren and possibly Generation will always see my pictures and my posts to have idea how I look like and sense of humor, is a good thing. No one will need to explain to them anything, they can always know it their self |

Re: What Happens To Your Facebook Account After You Die by Ezniteadin(m): 9:45am On Jul 13, 2018 |
Honestly. This is one reason i had to close my Facebook account. It will be devastating to image the feeling of loosing a loved one whose password you cannot access only to have a facebook page available when they are gone. I though of it and i had to close down my facebook, but sometimes Temptation makes me reopen it for a while and re-close it again this routines is constant with my facebook page who knows when man go pai? the most important thing is to die Trusting Jesus |
Re: What Happens To Your Facebook Account After You Die by DaCharis2016: 9:49am On Jul 13, 2018 |
I think it should be on default for Facebook to control, except a family member requests the control should be transferred. I had a friend who died and up to date not many of his friends on facebook are aware he's no more. In this case, I think facebook should have a better way of confirming someones death and automatically turning it into a memorial page. And wait until a request from a family member to take over control. What do you think |
Re: What Happens To Your Facebook Account After You Die by emmanuelpopson(m): 9:52am On Jul 13, 2018 |
even after deactivation..Facebook still have access to your data..but my fear is hackers getting access to such account and using it for their nefarious activity... |

Re: What Happens To Your Facebook Account After You Die by Nobody: 10:11am On Jul 13, 2018 |
It will only turn to a memorial page if someone close to you reports and can prove your death to them. The person can also choose to have it permanently deleted. Otherwise it remains like the millions of other dormant profiles on FB. |
