About memorialised accounts

Memorialised accounts are a place for friends and family to gather and share memories after a person has passed away. Memorialised accounts have the following key features:
  • The word Remembering will be shown next to the person's name on their profile
  • Depending on the privacy settings of the account, friends can share memories on the memorialised timeline
  • Content that the person shared (e.g. photos, posts) stays on Facebook and is visible to the audience it was shared with
  • Memorialised profiles don't appear in public spaces such as in suggestions for People you may know, ads or birthday reminders
  • No one can log in to a memorialised account
  • Memorialised accounts that don't have a legacy contact can't be changed
  • Pages with a sole admin whose account was memorialised will be removed from Facebook if we receive a valid request
