Facebook to keep profiles of the dead

Death doesn't erase the online footprints that people leave in life and Facebook won't either, though it will make some changes.

I wish Myspace had a similar policy, my friend's profile needs to be memorialized, perhaps they'll follow suit.

I have a link to one, my friends son died at 20 years old. Sad story, but his family and friends keep a myspace for him. It's very sweet and touching. They post stories and pics about the good times they had with him.

His is locked to us, his death was sudden and unexpected. He had it set to personally approve comments. Perhaps if they adopt this policy as well we can request those changes.
My kids and hubby know all our passwords for this reason.

Yes, this one was set up after the death, as a memorial. Perhaps you could get everyone together to do something similar?

That's a good way of putting it, my friend would've loved and laughed at that.

I have a Facebook page for my dead dog Heidi Lebrun.
