Profile, photos, Messenger
It has a setting you can switch on today
Legacy contact or deletion, about 3 minutes
- In Facebook settings, search for Memorialization.
- Choose a legacy contact, or choose to have the account deleted after Facebook learns of your death.
- A legacy contact can look after a memorialized profile: pin a tribute post, change the profile photo and answer friend requests. They can't sign in as you or read your messages.
If nobody planned
Anyone can ask Facebook to memorialize a profile by sending proof of death, such as an obituary. Close family can ask for it to be removed instead.
Write this down for your family
- Whether you want the account memorialized or deleted
- Who your legacy contact is
