Memorializing someone’s Facebook account:

If your friend has died without setting up an inheritance contact. You can still demand that Facebook remember their account using this form. You will need to give the person’s name, estimated date of passing away, or proof of death (optional).

The half dead account will have the word “Remembering” in front of the dead person’s name, and will not show up in Facebook ads, “People You May Know,” or send out any notification. Memorialized accounts cannot be logged in, so taking control of someone’s account also prevents the account from being hacked.

You will need to present the departed person’s full name, email address, date of death and the URL of their Timeline. You will also need to give a proof that you are a direct family member by providing a birth certificate, death certificate.
